Eye Muscle Surgery

Why It's Done

Eye muscle surgery is performed to correct eye misalignment (strabismus) and restore proper eye alignment and coordination, improving binocular vision and depth perception for patients with eye muscle disorders.

Procedure Explanation

Eye muscle surgery involves strengthening or weakening specific eye muscles to achieve proper eye alignment. The surgeon adjusts the tension or position of the eye muscles through small incisions in the conjunctiva or behind the eyelid, depending on the type and severity of strabismus.

Step-by-Step

Pre-operative assessment: The surgeon evaluates the degree of eye misalignment and develops a surgical plan tailored to the patient's needs.
Anesthesia administration: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Surgical intervention: The surgeon performs the necessary adjustments to the eye muscles, strengthening or weakening them as needed to achieve proper alignment.
Post-operative care: Patients receive instructions for post-operative eye exercises, patching, or eye drops to promote optimal healing and alignment.

Insurance and Empanelment

Eye muscle surgery is covered by insurance for medically necessary procedures to correct strabismus. Patients should verify coverage and any financial obligations with our billing department.

We accept most insurance plans and are empanelled with CGHS and ECHS for eligible patients undergoing eye muscle surgery. Patients are encouraged to confirm insurance coverage and empanelment status before surgery.

EMI and Payment Options
