I have a squint in my right eye and I'm considering surgery how effective is it and what's the recovery like? Are there any risks I should know about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is generally effective in correcting eye misalignment, with most patients seeing significant improvement in their eye alignment. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most people returning to normal activities within that time, although complete healing and final alignment can take several weeks or even months. While generally safe, there are some potential risks, including temporary side effects like mild discomfort, redness, or double vision, and in rare cases, more serious complications like infection or vision impairment.

While a corneal thickness of 475-485 microns in each eye with a -9 diopter prescription might seem borderline for LASIK, it's crucial to understand that corneal thickness is only one factor in determining LASIK suitability. A comprehensive eye exam is needed to assess your overall eye health and the specific needs of your vision correction
