A<unk>  is considered a success when the overall deviation has been corrected 60% or more or if the deviation is under 10 PD 6 weeks after the<unk> . Unsatisfactory alignment Surgical intervention can result in the eyes being entirely aligned (orthophoria) or nearly so, or it can result in an alignment that is not the desired result. There are many possible types of misalignment that can occur after the<unk>  including undercorrection, overcorrection, and torsional misalignment. Treating a case of unsatisfactory alignment often involves prisms, botulinum toxin injections, or more<unk> . The likelihood that the eyes will stay misaligned over the longer term is higher if the patient is able to achieve some degree of binocular fusion after<unk>  than if not. There is tentative evidence that children with infantile esotropia achieve better binocular vision post-operatively if the surgical treatment is performed early (see: Infantile esotropia#Surgery). A recent study reported the reoperation rate in a sample of over 6000 patients being 8.5%. Psychosocial outcomes<unk>  has been shown to have a variety of negative psychosocial effects on affected patients. Patients are often more fearful, anxious, have lower self-esteem, and increased interpersonal-sensitivity. These negative impacts often start in childhood and then progress throughout childhood and adolescence if the misalignment is not corrected quickly. Unfortunately there is also data to suggest that society sees this condition as one that negatively affects many qualities important to self-sufficient function such as responsibility, leadership ability, communication, and even intelligence. However, much of this critical mental health burden has been shown to be relieved by corrective<unk> . Significant increases in self confidence and self-esteem as well as a reduction in general as well as social anxiety was observed. Overall,<unk>  has been shown to successfully improve upon many of the negative impacts<unk>  can have on one's mental health.
