I had squint surgery when I was 12 because my right eye had poor vision and a noticeable squint. Now my eye seems to have drifted around 25 degrees does this mean my squint is coming back and can I get a second surgery to fix it?

Squint recurrence timing varies by type. Esotropia (inward-turning eye) typically shows signs of recurrence within 1-2 years post-surgery. Exotropia (outward-turning eye) often demonstrates a more gradual drift, becoming noticeable 3-5 years after surgery

My son was born premature and we noticed a bump on his left eyelid when he closes his eyes. Later, he developed a squint, so we tried glasses and patching as the doctor suggested, but he's not cooperating. Now the doctor recommended squint surgery is 1.6 years too early for the procedure? What are the possible side effects or complications we should be aware of?
