Strabismus surgery success rates typically range from 60% to 90% for a single procedure. Motor success, defined as eye alignment within 10 prism diopters, remains the primary benchmark. High-volume centers in Thailand, such as JCI-accredited Bumrungrad International Hospital, maintain outcomes comparable to top Western institutions.
- Motor success: Approximately 80–90% achieving nearly perfect physical eye alignment.
- Reoperation risk: Around 15–20% of adults may require a follow-up adjustment.
- Long-term stability: Success rates for children range from 60–70% over several years.
- Functional success: About 74% of patients report the successful resolution of double vision.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from top-tier Bangkok clinics shows a growing trend in using Botox as a diagnostic tool before surgery. About 50% of patients who respond well to these trials may avoid full invasive surgery entirely. This approach is common at specialized eye centers like Laser Vision at Bangkok Eye Hospital.
Patient Consensus: Many patients emphasize the need to budget for a potential second procedure. While initial results are often life-changing, 30% of cases may experience a slight drift back over several years.
