Hello doctor. I have had 3rd nerve palsy for almost 6 months now. The eyelids are fully open but still out of focus. So let me ask, When can I do surgery if my eyes are crossed due to paralysis of the 3rd nerve? Is the eye still crossed after surgery? Thank you doctor.

Hello, Tien. You have 3rd nerve palsy due to a neurological problem or an eye problem. If it is due to a neurological disease, what is the cause eg: Due to inflammation, encephalitis sequelae... you should practice rehabilitation. As for the cause of stroke, brain tumor, surgery is not recommended.
If you have eye disease, you should go to an Eye specialist for examination and in-depth advice.
You can register for an examination at a hospital under Vinmec Health System so that the doctor can check and advise directly on the case of Strabismus caused by 3rd nerve palsy, when should surgery be performed? Is the eye still crossed after surgery? Hope to have the opportunity to meet you to have more discussions. Wish you good health.
