Interventions
mirror therapy
Participants will undergo physiotherapy exercises in a mirror alongside post-surgery care. The program includes palming exercises, eye exercises, pencil push-ups, Brock string exercises, thumb exercises, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises. The first exercise warms up extra ocular muscles, the second improves eye coordination, the third motivates the lazy eye, the fourth strengthens eye muscles, and the fifth involves a near-distance jump for oblique muscles.
traditional therapy
The patients within the control group will receive traditional care post-strabismus operation as eye glasses and eye drops and regular exercise
