The best age for strabismus surgery is typically during early childhood, ideally before the age of 2 to 4 years, when the brain’s neural pathways for binocular vision (using both eyes together) are most adaptable. Early surgery helps prevent long-term vision issues like amblyopia (lazy eye) and can improve depth perception. However, adults can also successfully undergo the procedure with positive outcomes, though their visual system may be less flexible than in children.
