Alternating intermittent extropia

Hi all!

I have my surgery on Thursday. I’m pretty nervous but looking forward to it! I’m 31 and had this condition all my life, if I knew surgery existed I would’ve done it sooner.

My deviation goes pretty far out and mostly shows when I don’t focus, I’m tired, in bright lights, or if looking far sometimes. I can control it on command and refocus. My surgeon wants to take the conservative approach and loosen the outer muscles for both eyes so they don’t pull as hard. Has anyone had the outer muscles done only and what was the results? I worry about having to have a second surgery due to not being effective. She wants to try this out and build from it if needed.

Also, how was post op, any tips? How long were your eyes red for?
