Will LASIK give the same results as glasses for the treatment of strabismus?

Question

I wear glasses (strabismus). My ophthalmologist told me I can do LASIK. Will lasik give the same results like glasses or maybe worse?

Melissa Toyos, MD · Answer

It depends on your situation. Do your eyes have different refractive errors or do your eye "cross" without your glasses? In many cases, LASIK may be possible to correct specific refractive errors but glasses are needed for a prism effect that pulls the eyes straight. Once LASIK is done, an eye muscle procedure may also be a possibility to give you clearer vision and straighter eyes.
