Hello
It seems from the history that you are having squint with eye drifting upwards. This indicates it is vertical squint called as hypertropia and it is because of problems of vertical muscles.
Usually the vertical muscle surgery is complicated than horizontal muscle surgery. This requires surgery in superior rectus, inferior rectus and inferior oblique or superior oblique.
Hence I think your doctor is correct in suggesting three muscle surgery for correction of squint.
Thank you
