Hello
Squint surgery is a surgery on the extra ocular muscles which control the eye movements. Since it is a extraocular surgery it is safe and does not carry risks of intraocular surgeries.
The complications are very minimal and the most common complications seen are under correction or over correction because of errors in measurements. This can be avoided by accurate measurements.

Thank you
