I had retinal detachment surgery back in 2006 and my retina settled but my vision is still low in that eye. Now I have extropia in my right eye and I'm considering squint surgery to fix it. Will the squint surgery help improve my vision or just the alignment? What should I expect with my current eye condition?

I'm an ophthalmologist with a posterior polar cataract and it's really affecting my work. I struggle during surgeries and it's making me depressed.
