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

Question

I have keratoconus in both eyes and I'm really confused about my options. One doctor suggested surgery while another said contact lenses are better than surgery and recommended trying them first. I'm only 17 and not sure what to choose should I go for contacts or consider surgery right away? What would be the best option for someone my age?

Question

I've been noticing two floaters one medium-sized in my right eye and a smaller one in the left. Is there any diet change or medicine that can help reduce vitreous opacities or make them less noticeable? I've heard there's no allopathic treatment except surgery, but I'm hoping there might be other options to manage them
