My eyes squint whenever I take off my high-power glasses, and I can't wear them outside. Is there any way to treat squint eyes without surgery? Would contact lenses help with this issue?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatment options for squint eyes, and contact lenses could be one of them, especially if your squint is related to a refractive error. Vision therapy, eye patching, and prism glasses are other non-surgical approaches. If your squint is caused by a refractive error (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), wearing the correct prescription glasses or contact lenses can help align your eyes and reduce squinting.

I heard Aravind Eye Hospital offers ICL surgery for around 35k per eye using their own lenses. Are these lenses as reliable and effective as Visian ICL? I'm a bit unsure about the quality and safety compared to the branded option can you advise?

Question

I had LASIK surgery about 4 years ago but lately I've been noticing light flashes on the left side of my left eye. My vision has been just okay since the surgery not great, not terrible. Could these flashes be something serious or related to the LASIK? What might be causing this?
