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've had esotropia in my right eye for about six months now while my left eye is fine. My glasses prescription is 4.00 for the right eye and 3.75 for the left. Is surgery my only option or are there other ways to fix this squint without going under the knife

No, surgery isn't always the only solution for esotropia. Besides surgery, other treatments for esotropia include glasses, vision therapy, eye patches, or even botox injections in some cases.
