I'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?

I had squint surgery in both eyes a year ago but still notice some residual squint sometimes I also have astigmatism and have worn glasses since childhood - my right eye has CYL 1 axis 10 and left eye CYL 2 axis 160 Can LASIK fix my astigmatism completely and would it help correct the remaining squint issues too I'm 26 and really want to properly address both problems

LASIK surgery can effectively address astigmatism, including your specific CYL 1 axis 10 and CYL 2 axis 160 values. However, LASIK does not correct squint, which is a misalignment of the eyes. Addressing residual squint after surgery will likely require further evaluation and potentially additional surgical adjustments.
