Hi P.,
No worries! Both myself and my daughter have had this surgery. Mine was MANY years ago, they waited too long (I was 6 when I finally had it) and as a result I have Amblyopia. So you did the right thing!
After my daughter's first surgery (she was 2 also) her eyes had to take time to adjust. They grew stronger every day. However, and I'm sure the doctor has explained this might happen, she did have to have another surgery (around 8 or 9) because the first one wasn't exact. That's common.
She's 14 now and wears glasses, but only because she has astigmatism, not because of the strabismis. Her eye still does turn just a teeny bit and has to do eye exercises to learn how to control it.
I hope my tale helped relieve some worry. If you still have concerns, talk to your doctor. Also, feel free to email me with any more questions.
