What is the average cost for an intermittent strabismus eye surgery? Is this considered an elective surgery?
Q. My left eye deviates inward when I'm trying to focus on anything small, or I'm trying to be accurate with something. It creates in focus double vision if I try and use both eyes at the same time.
So, I'm considering eye surgery to correct this problem. Has anyone had any personal experience with this procedure? and how much did the operation cost.
Thank you very much.
Oh, I do wear a corrective prism in my glasses, so I experience this problem mostly when wearing my soft contact lenses.

A. The cost of strabismus surgery depends on your insurance, the hospital you have the surgery at and their room fees, fees for anaesthesia, and fees from your ophthalmologist's office. Since you have prism in your glasses, you may also need to get a pair of glasses without prism,
Many insurance companies will cover strabismus surgery, as it is a restorative surgery and not just a cosmetic surgery. This link has a lot of information about strabismus surgery in adults:

What can be done for pain from eye surgery?
Q. My 7 year old son had eye surgery today and I was instructed to give him tylenol or motrin for pain, but 2 hours later he is saying his eyes hurt. Should I apply warm or cold compresses? I am just asking for temporary advice from people who really know what to do. I will call tomorrow to find out what to do. Thanks in advance!
A. I would advise calling the hospital where the surgery was performed. There should be a doctor on call or they can reach your childs doctor.
Eyes are far to sensitive to take anyones advice unless they are a physician.
Best of luck to you!

A. Can i have the type of surgery the infant will receive?
Basically what they will do is shorten, lengthen or change the postion of the extraocular muscles. These muscules are what moves the eye. Strabismus surgery is a one day procedure. The patient only spends few hours in the hospital with minimal preoperative preparation. The average duration of the surgery is variable according to the number of muscles operated. On average, every muscle operated takes 10-15 minutes. Before the surgery, your child will have a special "sleep medicine" called a general anaesthetic. This will make sure your child sleeps through the operation and does not feel any pain. Your child will have a patch and some redness and swelling after the operation but that will subside later on.
Since it's being fixed early your infant shouldn't have any serious vision problems that can occur later on which is great.
I hope everything works out for you and your child.
Good Luck :)
