The main purpose of eye muscle surgery is thus to restore straight eye alignment. The surgery is performed to align both eyes so that they gaze in the same direction
To repair a convergent gaze, the ophthalmogist cuts the muscles that move the eye from side to side (A). On one side, the muscles are attached further back on the eyeball (B). On the other, the muscle is shortened (C) and stitched (D). (Illustration by GGS Inc.)

Uggg... what is it about the eyes that makes surgery seem so ghastly? I was squeamish just reading about it. On that same note, I am thankful that there is a surgery to help her and capable professionals who can perform it.
dont worry about it. I was actually a guinea pig in the 70s for the procedure. BUt I am sure they do it more with lasers now.
