I have a squint eye and I'm considering surgery but I'm worried it might cause vision loss is that a common risk or are there safer options to fix this

Vision loss is not a common risk with squint surgery, but it's important to be aware of potential risks, including temporary vision changes, double vision, and in rare cases, a permanent decrease in vision. There are safer, non-surgical options like vision therapy, glasses, and prism lenses that can address squint without the risks of surgery
