Strabismus treatment methods for children and adults
Treatment of strabismus in Israel is chosen according to the cause and type of strabismus, the angle of deviation, the patient’s age and visual acuity. It usually starts with conservative methods, and eye muscle surgery is considered if the deviation persists. If there are other eye conditions, such as cataracts in a child or adult, the doctors plan treatment together.
Glasses and contact lenses
for refractive errors
They correct the focus of the eyes and reduce the strain on the eye muscles. This is often the first stage of treatment, especially in children.
Amblyopia treatment
a patch or glasses with one lens covered
The stronger eye is covered for a while so that the weaker eye starts working harder. This is how amblyopia, or lazy eye, is treated, which often comes with strabismus.
Orthoptic therapy
exercises supervised by a doctor
Exercises on special devices strengthen the eye muscles and train the eyes to work together. They help improve binocular vision and depth perception.
Botulinum toxin injections
for selected indications
The drug reduces spasm of an eye muscle. In some cases it is an alternative to surgery, and the ophthalmologist makes the decision.
Eye muscle surgery
recession, resection, anteposition, lengthening
The surgeon weakens, shortens or lengthens a muscle or moves its attachment point to straighten the eye. According to the clinics, the procedure usually takes 45-60 minutes.
Adjustable sutures
fine-tuning after surgery
The technique makes it possible to adjust the position of the muscle after the operation without repeat surgery. It is also used in repeat operations.
Recovery after surgery
device-based exercises
Recovery of visual function takes 1-2 weeks and includes sessions on a synoptophore and a monobinoscope. They help consolidate the result and restore binocular vision.

Our doctor-coordinator will review your medical records and find a specialist to assess your treatment options.

Diagnosis before strabismus treatment
Strabismus, or squint, is a condition in which one or both eyes turn away from the normal position, so the eyes do not look at the same object. Besides the visible misalignment, it can reduce visual acuity and affect depth perception, so a full eye examination is done before treatment.
01
When to ask for a review
Take your child to an ophthalmologist if an eye turns constantly or from time to time, the doctor suspects amblyopia, or glasses and exercises have not corrected the deviation. Adults should seek a review if strabismus appeared after an injury or illness or if they have double vision.
If surgery has already been recommended, an ophthalmologist at an Israeli clinic can give a second opinion before you travel.
02
Which tests are done
The ophthalmologist checks visual acuity with and without correction, measures the angle of strabismus, assesses refraction with computerized refractometry and skiascopy, examines the fundus and evaluates head position.
If paralytic strabismus is suspected, a neurologist joins the examination and additional tests may be ordered.
03
What can be assessed before the trip
Based on the ophthalmologist’s report and data on visual acuity, the angle of deviation and refraction, the clinic’s doctor can give a preliminary view of whether surgery is needed and prepare a treatment program. The final plan is confirmed after an in-person examination.
We will help you choose a clinic for your caseOur doctor-coordinator will review your medical records, explain the differences between clinics and help you choose the right specialist.
TREATMENT IN DETAIL
Strabismus treatment in Israel: a chance to quickly regain your vision and improve your appearance
What are the advantages of strabismus treatment in Israel?
Treatment of strabismus in Israel is characterized by safety & low traumatism. Israeli doctors combine advanced therapeutic and minimally traumatic surgical techniques. Each patient has selected the most effective therapy strategy in his case.
According to summary data from hospitals in Israel, doctors can permanently relieve children and adults from pathology without repeated surgery in almost 100% of cases. The main advantage, in addition to high quality, is the affordable price of strabismus treatment in Israel.
Why is it important to eliminate strabismus?
Strabismus (strabismus) is an eye disorder manifested by a deviation of one or both eyes in relation to the central axis. It usually develops during childhood. According to WHO, about 4% of children have this pathology.
This is not only a cosmetic defect of appearance but also a disease in which visual acuity decreases, neurological disorders may occur. In complex cases, blindness may develop. Therefore, it is important to undergo quality treatment of strabismus in Israel and get rid of the defect forever.
What diagnostics is performed before starting strabismus treatment in Israel?
An eye examination of the patient is performed using high-precision equipment and classical and innovative methods. In the Assuta Clinic in Tel Aviv, a set of diagnostic procedures includes:
collection of anamnesis – the doctor determines the causes of strabismus;
visual acuity testing with and without the use of special lenses;
ophthalmoscopy and biomicroscopy – to determine the condition of the anterior parts of the eyeball, the eye fundus and the transparency of the ocular environment;
measurement of eye divergence angles;
computerized refractometry and skiascopy – to assess the degree of clinical refraction;
assessment of the position of the patient’s head, eyeballs, symmetry of parts of the face, and eye slits.
The doctor may invite a neurologist for consultation if a paralytic form is suspected. In this case, a person may need additional tests.
What conservative techniques are offered in Israel for the treatment of strabismus?
Treatment of strabismus in Israel, regardless of age, always begins with conservative therapy. Ophthalmologists select an individualized plan for the patient, which includes effective techniques for each case. Among them:
Special glasses or contact lenses. A standard therapy option in the presence of refractive disorders. Correct the focus of the eyes and reduce the tone of the eye muscles.
Patches, glasses with closed glass. Indicated in pathology caused by amblyopia (lazy eye). The patch closes the strong eye, forcing the weak one to function actively.
Orthoptic therapy. A set of exercises designed to strengthen and coordinate muscles, and improve binocular vision and depth perception. It is performed under the guidance of a doctor with the use of special devices: convergence trainers, synchronizers, stereoscopes.
Pharmacological treatment – use special eye drops and ointments.
Botulinum toxin injections – contribute to the reduction of muscle spasms and, in some cases, are an alternative to surgery.
When is it better to do surgery?
Optimal to carry out surgical treatment of strabismus in Israel for children, according to ophthalmologists of the Herzliya Medical Center, at the age of 4-6 years. The child has not yet fully formed a visual function, so it is easier to achieve good visual acuity. A special rehabilitation complex of exercises can be effective at this age.
Treatment of strabismus in Israel: types of operations
Ophthalmologists in Israel have extensive experience in performing microsurgical procedures to correct the position of the eyes in 1 day. Surgical treatment of strabismus in Israel is aimed at correcting the eye muscles. The choice of technique is determined by the causes of pathology. The main types of interventions in the Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv include:
Recession is an operation in which the surgeon moves and fixes the muscle in such a way as to weaken it. It helps to reduce the angle of deviation of the eye and bring it closer to its normal position.
Anteposition – recommended for the paralytic form, when one of the eye muscles does not work due to nerve or brain damage. The doctor changes where the muscle is attached to the eye to enhance its action.
Plasticity is needed when one of the muscles is too short or stiff and restricts the eye’s movement. The surgeon lengthens the muscle, and it gains elasticity.
Resection – indicated when the muscle is weakened and does not control eye movement. The doctor shortens the muscle to activate its functioning.
Surgical treatment of strabismus in Israel is usually performed within 45-60 minutes under local anesthesia.
What are adjustable sutures?
During surgical treatment of strabismus, ophthalmologists in Israel use adjustable suture technology. It allows you to adjust the position of the muscles after surgery without the need to perform it again. With this technique, surgeons at the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa achieve a 100% successful result even when performing repeated surgeries. This is confirmed by the reviews of many people who have undergone strabismus treatment in Israel.
How is rehabilitation after surgical treatment of strabismus in Israel?
Postoperative recovery of visual functions lasts 1-2 weeks and includes innovative hardware laser techniques:
Synoptophore – increases eye muscle tone and restores binocular vision.
Monobinoscope – affects the pathologies of the eye structure and minimizes future relapse.
Reviews of patients confirm that after the treatment of strabismus and subsequent rehabilitation in Israel, vision is restored.
What is the price of strabismus treatment in Israel?
An ophthalmologist can announce the final cost after a thorough diagnosis of the oculomotor apparatus and understanding the pathology’s nature. On average, the price of strabismus treatment in Israel is 25-35% lower than in many countries of Western Europe and the USA.
What is written in reviews about strabismus treatment in Israel?
Patients who have undergone strabismus treatment in Israel, note in the reviews positive points:
Accurate diagnosis made it possible to select a productive variant of therapy.
Rapid recovery of visual fields after surgery within 1-2 days. At the same time, the central nervous system has fully adapted to the changes.

Questions about strabismus surgery and treatment in Israel
About choosing a doctor, costs and preparing for treatment.
How much does treatment cost, and can I find out the price before I travel?
Yes. To plan the treatment of strabismus in Israel, send the ophthalmologist’s report and test results. Our doctor-coordinator will help you choose a specialist, and the clinic will prepare a preliminary program and cost estimate. The final plan is confirmed after an examination.
According to the clinics, treatment in Israel costs on average 25-35% less than in many Western European countries and the USA. Experts Medical services are free for patients, and you pay the clinic directly.
Can strabismus be corrected without surgery?
In some cases glasses, patching for amblyopia, orthoptic exercises and botulinum toxin injections help. If the angle of deviation persists, strabismus surgery on the eye muscles is considered. The ophthalmologist chooses the method after an examination.
At what age is strabismus treated?
Treatment starts as soon as strabismus is found, including in young children. According to ophthalmologists at Herzliya Medical Center, the best age for surgery in children is 4-6 years. The doctor sets the timing individually, taking into account the type of strabismus and the state of vision.
How long is the trip for strabismus treatment?
Under the clinic’s program, the stay in Israel takes about 6 days: examination, surgery, a follow-up check-up and the trip home. Recovery of visual function after surgery takes 1-2 weeks, and the doctor gives recommendations for this period at discharge.
What are adjustable sutures?
This is a technique that allows the position of the eye muscle to be fine-tuned after surgery without another operation. It is used by surgeons at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, including in repeat operations.
Can I get help paying for my child's treatment?
Under the program terms, patients under 18 may receive assistance of up to €10,000 toward the cost of treatment. Check the conditions and how to apply with the doctor-coordinator.
Which documents do I need for a review?
Prepare the ophthalmologist’s report, visual acuity of each eye with and without correction, measurements of the angle of strabismus and refraction, and information about previous treatment. If some documents are missing, the coordinator will tell you which tests are needed.
Do I need to translate my medical documents?
Before ordering a translation yourself, check the requirements with the doctor-coordinator. They will tell you which documents the chosen clinic needs and in what format to send them, and help arrange a translation if necessary.
Can I come with an accompanying person?
Yes. Parents accompany a child during treatment, and an adult patient can also come with a family member. Tell the doctor-coordinator who will travel, and they will help arrange accommodation near the clinic.
