I have a power of 6.5 with a slight squint in my right eye. I really want to get rid of my glasses and also fix the squint. Can I go for LASIK first and then get squint surgery later, or should I do it the other way around? What's the best approach for this?

It's generally recommended to address the squint (strabismus) before considering LASIK surgery, especially with a high refractive error like yours. LASIK can sometimes affect eye muscle balance, potentially making the squint worse. A consultation with a strabismus specialist and your ophthalmologist is crucial to determine the best course of action.

No proven natural cure for myopia—eye exercises may reduce strain but won't reverse refractive error.
