I have a squint of around 4 to 5 degrees both near and far, sometimes even 5 to 6 degrees. How can I overcome this? Will I need surgery? It really bothers me, and I feel like it affects my accuracy when drawing does squint cause that?

Yes, strabismus (squint) can be corrected, and whether surgery is needed depends on the severity and underlying cause. Non-surgical options like vision therapy, eye patches, glasses, or botox injections are often tried first. If these aren't effective, surgery to reposition the eye muscles may be necessary. It's also possible that squint affects drawing accuracy, but this would need to be assessed by a professional

View allI'm a 49-year-old man who's been dealing with eye floaters for about 3 months now. Are there any effective treatments for this condition? Is surgery a good option or too risky? Can medications or eye drops help clear up floaters? I've heard about homeopathy and ayurveda for this - do those actually work or is it better to stick with conventional treatments?
Treatment include vitrectomy,to remove the floater, laser treatment or vitreolysis.

I have a squint eye and heard it might not be fully correctable as an adult. What kind of improvement can I expect from cosmetic squint surgery, and what are the costs and risks involved? One of my eyes has also become lazy.
Squint surgery in adults can significantly improve eye alignment, reduce or eliminate double vision, and boost self-confidence. While it can't always fully correct the issue, it often provides substantial improvements in function and appearance. Lazy eye can also be treated, and surgical correction of the squint may enhance the lazy eye's ability to function. The cost of surgery varies, but it's generally considered a safe procedure
