My 1-year-old nephew was diagnosed with intermittent exotropia. I'm wondering if patching can really help fix this or if surgery is the only option. How effective are non-surgical treatments for kids this young?

Small inguinal hernias may be managed conservatively, but no proven Ayurvedic/homeopathy cure; untreated hernias may enlarge or strangulate, risking future complications.

Question

My eye power is -9 and -10 and still increasing. Which LASIK surgery would be the best option for me given my high prescription? I'm a bit worried about stability since my vision keeps changing.

My 1-year-old baby girl was born with an underdeveloped retina in her left eye, and AIIMS doctors observed her vision is only 1 in that eye. Is there any hope for her retina and vision to develop? Are there treatments like surgery, home remedies, Ayurveda, or even a transplant that could help her? I'm really worried and looking for any possible solutions.

Question

My eye vision is 66 in one eye and 660 in the other. Can you tell me what percentage of disability that would be? Also, my doctor recommended retina surgery could you explain more about why it's needed and what the procedure involves?
