What is adjustable squint surgery ?
When we perform squint surgery in adults one option that we have is to do an adjustable squint surgery. As the name suggests, Adjustable squint surgery means when we perform the surgery and are reattaching the muscle to the eyeball we dont finalize the knots of the sutures but tie the knots like a shoelace. We can thus untie the knots very easily. The next day after surgery when we see the patient in the OPD we actually intie these knots and change the position of the muscle depending on the status of the squint.
