A second squint surgery can correct residual deviation but success depends on muscle healing, previous scarring, and proper alignment planning.

I'm considering ICL surgery but I'm a strict vegetarian and worried about the collamer lenses from STAAR Surgical. I read online that they might be derived from animal sources is that true? If not, where do they come from? And is it possible to get ICL lenses that are 100% plant-based?

No, Collamer lenses used in STAAR Surgical's Visian ICL surgery are not derived from animal sources, and they are not 100% plant-based. They are a synthetic material that is specifically designed to be biocompatible with the eye and not derived from any animal products, though the lens does contain a small amount of purified collagen.

I've had esotropia squint eye since childhood and recently found out surgery might be an option. Is squint surgery really the best treatment with no risks or are there other alternatives I could consider? I'm not happy with how it looks and want to explore solutions.

Squint surgery (strabismus surgery) is a common and often effective treatment for esotropia, but it's not a perfect solution with no risks. While surgery can correct eye alignment and improve binocular vision, there are other non-surgical options to consider, and potential risks associated with surgery should be discussed with your doctor.
