I had keratoconus surgery in my left eye back in April 2016 and currently use spectacles for it. We just moved to Mumbai, specifically Andheri West, and I'm looking for a good cornea specialist or surgeon here. Can you recommend someone experienced with keratoconus cases?

View allI have intermittent exotropia in both eyes where one eye turns out every 1-2 minutes, sometimes left and sometimes right. A squint specialist recommended surgery as the only option, suggesting a 2-muscle procedure on just one eye. He said the brain would adjust and prevent the other eye from turning out afterward. Is this approach correct? He's a pediatric ophthalmologist with 16 years of experience, but I'm unsure about only operating on one eye when both are affected. Does this sound like the right plan?
Yes he is right. As our eyes should work simultaneously. So if we do surgery on one eye, the effect will be total for both eyes. It's not like that if your right eye is going out means we have to operate that eye only . On examination, whatever the non dominant eye will be operated. And some exercises will be needed after surgery to maintain

I'm a 29-year-old guy who's been told I need squint correction surgery and I'm kinda nervous about it. Can you tell me what the success rate is for this surgery so I know what to expect?
You must get it operated.

I have a cylindrical power in my left eye with an axis of 180 should I be worried about this? Would I need corrective surgery or is it manageable with glasses or contacts? Just trying to understand if this could affect my vision long-term
Cylindrical power is manageable with glasses or contact lenses; surgery like LASIK is optional and based on personal need and stability.
