Current evidence shows that even patients with longstanding strabismus without diplopia demonstrate measurable benefits in binocularity, function, quality of life and psychosocial interactions after strabismus surgery. There is excellent cost-utility for strabismus surgery at between approximately £1,000-1600 dollars/QALY (NICE cut off for cost effectiveness is less than £20,000 per QALY). Strabismus surgery in adults should not be rationed on non-clinical grounds and ppatients with strabismus should be considered as candidates for surgical treatment whether or not they experience double vision.
