During the Strabismus Surgery, the strength of one or more of the muscle controlling your eye movement is reduced or increased to create a balance and give your eyes a natural appearance. Though these muscles control the eye movement, your eyes are actually controlled by the brain. Since Strabismus Surgery is not a brain surgery and does not interfere with the signals transmitted by the brain to your eyes, your eyes may deviate even after the surgery and squint may reoccur.
