The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Propofol versus Dexmedetomidine in children undergoing squint surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • Which drug is more effective in preventing the appearance of Emergence Agitation in children after sevoflurane anesthesia in squint surgery, propofol or dexmedetomidine? Emergence agitation (EA) is a period of restlessness, agitation, inconsolable crying, disorientation, delusions, and hallucinations with impaired cognition and memory that commonly occurs in children undergoing ophthalmic surgery especially after Short acting volatile agents such as sevoflurane.
