Eye Muscle Repair: Expectations after Surgery
After surgery, the eye will be red for a couple days. The eye alignment is usually immediate.
One important note, the surgery does not fix a lazy or amblyopic eye, so a child may have to wear glasses or continue to patch an eye. In general, the earlier in a child's life the operation is performed, the better the result. The eye should appear normal a few weeks after the surgery.
