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

View allMy mother has been diagnosed with early-stage cataracts in both eyes but they're not fully formed yet. Should she consider surgery now or wait until they're more advanced? Also, is it safe to operate on both eyes within two days one eye one day and the next eye the following day? What else should we keep in mind about the procedure and recovery?
It's generally advisable to have cataract surgery when it starts impacting daily life, whether the cataracts are early or more advanced. Waiting for cataracts to fully mature isn't necessary and can sometimes lead to complications. Operating on both eyes within two days, one day per eye, is generally considered safe and can be beneficial for quicker recovery and convenience. However, individual circumstances and medical history should be discussed with the ophthalmologist
