Surgeon One out of two of the procedures are Strabismus Surgery.

The earliest successful procedure was done on October 26, 1839.

The first person to perform this procedure was Dieffenbach and he was from Germany.

In adults it restores normal appearance and is considered reconstructive. It helps improve depth perception or binocular vision, improved visual fields, eliminating or minimizing double vision and improved social function.

This procedure is not a result of a disease or illness.

It doesn’t affect any other organisms.
