Exotropia surgery generally takes about 1-2 hours.
Generally speaking, exotropia surgery takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the anesthesia method, patient cooperation, the number of muscles and the difficulty of the operation. If only superficial anesthesia is done, the amount of surgery is 1-2 muscles, and the time required is relatively short, generally about 1 hour can be completed; If general anesthesia is performed, the amount of surgery is more than 3 muscles, and the operation time is relatively long, which may take about 2 hours. It is recommended that the actual situation prevail. Pay attention
to eye hygiene and rest after surgery.
