I'm a 24-year-old guy who's had strabismus since birth. I'm considering surgery but worried it might affect my vision. Can you tell me more about how the surgery works and if it could cause vision problems?

my eyes have a power of 5 at age 28 is lasik surgery a good option for me and can you suggest some reliable hospitals in kolkata for the procedure

At age 28 with a -5 diopter prescription, LASIK surgery is a good option for correcting your vision. Many surgeons consider the age range between 20 and 40 ideal for LASIK, as vision tends to stabilize during these years. A prescription of -5 diopters is within the range typically considered suitable for LASIK.
