I'm curious about my strabismus since I've had it since childhood. I don't have a lazy eye because both of my eyes have 69 acuity with 4D power. If I decide to get cosmetic surgery for the squint, what are the chances I'll end up with perfectly aligned eyes and no recurrence of the squint for the rest of my life? From what I've read, recurrence seems to happen mainly in people with a lazy eye, but since I'll be using both of my equally efficient eyes together after surgery, does that mean the squint might not come back? Could you guide me on this?

Question

I'm an Indian living abroad and I've noticed some swelling near my left eyebrow over the last couple of days. There's a bit of pain when I touch the area, and it's got me a little worried. Do you think it might go away on its own, or should I be looking at using some eye drops? Could you recommend a good one I could buy?

Question

I've been using a new prescription from my doctor for about a month, but my vision in my right eye is still blurry. The doctor mentioned it would take about 7 to 10 days to adjust, but it's already been a month. Any ideas why this might be happening? Do you think I've permanently lost 66 vision?

Question

I've been wearing glasses consistently for the last two years and taking the prescribed medicine, but my eye power hasn't improved. Is there something more I can do to help correct it, or should I be concerned about this?
