Eye deviation or strabismus In this article, we would like to know if it is possible to remove glasses despite eye deviation? Stay with us until the end. Eye deviation or strabismus is a problem that is more common among children. When a person is suffering from this disease, his eyes are not on the same side and both eyes are not able to look at a specific point at the same time. Any disorder, if not treated, can have irreparable consequences, and eye deviation is no exception to this rule. If no action is taken to treat it in time, it can lead to reduced vision and loss of vision in one eye. Another side effect of not treating eye deviation is the defect in the appearance of people. Also, failure to treat eye deviations in children can cause eye laziness and loss of three-dimensional vision over time. Although children are susceptible to eye deviation disease, adults also suffer from this condition. Eye deviation and removal of glasses The question raised in this article is whether adults who have eye deviations or children who grew up with eye deviations and are now in the appropriate age group for glasses removal surgeries can do this operation or not? If you have strabismus and you intend to correct your vision with laser eye surgery, you should know that eye deviation is not an obstacle for surgery. You can perform the appropriate surgery related to your eye correction (LASIK, LASIK, PRK, Femto LASIK and Smile). Of course, you should know that vision correction and removal of glasses usually do not have much effect on the amount of deviation of your eyes, but eye deviation examinations must be done carefully before the operation. It is worth mentioning that in some people, by wearing glasses and correcting vision with glasses, the amount of eye deviation is reduced. Also, when they do not use glasses, the amount of deviation increases. In these cases, performing refractive surgery also causes the same amount of improvement in eye deviation as wearing glasses before the operation. Another point to be mentioned regarding people with strabismus is whether people who underwent strabismus surgery as children are also good candidates for laser surgeries for refractive errors or not? In answer to this question, it should be said that as long as the patient's eye conditions are suitable for performing LASIK or other eyeglass removal procedures, including FemtoLASIK, Smile, and PRK, and the surgeon does not see any contraindications for this surgery after the necessary examinations and photographs, performing eyeglass removal procedures is fine. ### When doing refractive error surgery In general, surgery to remove glasses and refractive errors should be performed before eye deviation surgery. That is, if the patient is suffering from both diseases at the same time and has taken measures to treat both diseases, he must first correct his refractive errors and then proceed for eye deviation surgery. Because the deviation of the eye may change after the correction of refractive errors. If eye deviation surgery is performed at first, it is possible that eye deviation will occur again after refractive error surgery. If vision is stable after refractive error surgery, which takes at least one to three months, surgery can be performed to treat eye deviation. Finally, it should be mentioned that laser surgery for refractive errors is not only a standard method for vision correction, but also a new method for treating strabismus related to refractive errors. For example, in patients with inward deviation of the eye due to refractive error or in camera patients with adaptive strabismus, refractive error surgery has the ability to correct both dependence on glasses and inward deviation of the eye at the same time. Although surgeries to remove glasses and refractive errors are very safe and reliable, these surgeries also sometimes cause eye deviation and diplopia. **Read more: lazy eye and Lasak operation**
