I recently scheduled to have "strabismus correction surgery", and it's the 2nd one I've had in my life...the first surgery was done when I was much younger (about 10 years old; I am 31 now). BOTH of my eyes cross OUTward, although the surgery I had as a child DID WORK. Apparently it wasn't a permanent 'fix'..and my eye doctor also said that the upcoming surgery may be effective for a number of years, but not permanently. I have the utmost faith in the surgeon (he is actually the same doctor that operated on me when I was a child..he's still practicing!!), but there is ONE issue that I am seriously struggling with. I am on methadone (prescribed to me, NOT recreational), and I really wanted an outside opinion of whether there would be any major side effects/complications because of this. I'm just wondering if there's any data/evidence suggesting that methadone can cause complications with this type of surgery..to the extent that the surgery can't/shouldn't be done. I am on 40mgs a day, and it is the ONLY medication that I take. I want to have this surgery done...my eyes crossing has REALLY started to take its toll on me mentally, emotionally and socially (not to mention physically...the headaches, the disorientation, etc). However, I really don't want the doctor to decide NOT to do the surgery simply because I am on methadone. I guess I understand if nobody replies to this...but I WOULD be very grateful for any/all insight from someone who's 'in the business' of eye health. Thanks and have a great day!!
