I've been dealing with strabismus and exotropia for a while and read about surgery being an option. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I could try? Also, could you suggest where I should go for treatment and roughly how much it might cost? Lately, it's been really affecting my confidence, especially in professional settings where eye contact matters a lot.
