Surgery for Crossed Eyes

by jmgreene67 in Health Issues (Down Syndrome)

I took Kiki in for her first eye exam, and the doctor suggested that she may need corrective surgery for her crossed eyes.  I've done a little internet research now, and what I've read so far is not encouraging: that the surgery most likely will not correct sight problems, that the surgery may not be permanent, that the surgery may cause scar tissue which may make it impossible to correct the crossed eyes with eyeglasses.

Has anybody out there had any personal experience with this surgery?  What was your experience?  Would you recommend it?

Thanks!
