At present, some experts believe that strabismus surgery belongs to medical cosmetic surgery, so it is not covered by medical insurance reimbursement.

This kind of operation is very routine in ophthalmology. Strabismus is caused by the dysplasia of extraocular muscles, so the treatment of this disease is to artificially change the starting point and ending point of extraocular muscles, so as to adjust the eye position. If you are an adult, you can do general local anesthesia surgery, and the time will not be too long. The operation can be completed in about half an hour.
