I've had esotropia since I was 3 years old can it be fixed with glasses or is surgery the only option? If surgery is needed, which state in India has the best specialists for esotropic eye surgery? Also, what's the approximate cost for the surgery?

Esotropia (where the eye turns inward) can sometimes be corrected with glasses, particularly in cases of accommodative esotropia. However, if it's a non-accommodative esotropia or infantile esotropia, surgery is often the primary treatment
