Is strabismus surgery for nystagmus complicated?

Nystagmus and strabismus surgery is not complex. The underlying principle involves surgically altering the origin and insertion points of the extraocular muscles to adjust ocular alignment. Typically, strabismus surgery takes about 30 minutes to complete; however, full recovery of the eyes generally requires 3 to 6 months. After surgery, patients should protect their eyes by avoiding excessive visual strain and limiting screen time on electronic devices.
