In general, if you are referring to an eye muscle disorder in which the eye position is not straight, there is no laser for these procedures yet. Most eye muscle surgeries are traditional surgeries in which muscles are moved to new positions on the eye using an operating microscope or mounted loupe spectacles with high magnification. There are no skin incisions and of course the eye is never removed ( a common public concern). Repositioning the eye muscles takes a highly skilled expert in "strabismus" and most of us that do this are also pediatric ophthalmologists.
In children who have amblyopia, or a visually lazy eye, the treatments continue to be glasses and patch therapy. The headlines in today's papers as you may have read concern new intraocular implants that are being researched to treat amblyopia in some children who have one really near or far sighted eye and either cannot wear glasses due to the high difference in power, or will not tolerate a contact lens. Unfortunately such procedures are without a documented track record, and are new. Also none of them are used for adults as the brain and the eye complete almost all visual development by the late teens.

Can you get a lazy eye fixed?
Before adulthood, a simple surgery can get a lazy eye fixed. In cases where a lazy eye is caused by the difference in the refractive error between both eyes, a lazy eye can be targeted with a surgery in adulthood as well. But in other forms of adult lazy eye, surgery isn't as helpful. Instead, a novel vision therapy, which is FDA approved and proposed by Revitalvision, can help fix a lazy eye within 30 training sessions using a computer program.

Laser Eye Surgery Offers Patients a New View on Life?
As anyone who has vision problems knows, few things are more frustrating than not being able to read the alarm clock in the morning, or tell which is the shampoo and conditioner in the shower. For these people who have lived with some level of visual impairment for years, or maybe a lifetime, laser eye surgery can be a life altering experience. In addition to being a virtual godsend for people who have lived life beyond a blurry curtain, laser eye surgery has also become incredibly accessible and affordable. The most commonly referred to type of laser eye surgery is a vision corrective procedure called laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK. This refractive surgery procedure is very popular because it is relatively pain free, and provides excellent vision improvement as soon as the next day. People who are nearsighted or farsighted can experience vision improvement with LASIK. For those who are nearsighted (those who can see things well up close, but have trouble with distance vision), laser eye surgery works to flatten the cornea, which is too thick and steep. For those who are farsighted (those who can see things in the distance, but have trouble reading and viewing things close up), the laser changes the corner, giving it a steeper curve. Laser eye surgery can also correct the common problem of astigmatism, by smoothing out a rough cornea and correcting the general shape. Laser surgery is, as previously mentioned, relatively painless, and pretty fast. Once the actual surgery begins, the surgeon starts by numbing the eye with drops. Then, the surgeon uses a microkeratome or an actual laser to cut a circle shaped, very thin flap in the cornea. After folding the hinged corneal flap, the eye surgeon uses an excimer laser to remove tissue from the cornea, reshaping it as necessary to fix the specific vision problem of the patient. This correctly formed cornea can now better focus light onto the retina of the eye, allowing more perfect vision. The surgeon then lays the flap of cornea back into place, and it heals relatively quickly on its own.
