Strabismus surgery is generally not very painful. During the procedure, patients are under general or local anesthesia, so they don't feel pain. After the surgery, mild discomfort, redness, and irritation may occur for a few days, similar to having an eyelash in the eye. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can manage this discomfort. Most patients recover within a week without significant pain.
