I've had squint eyes since birth and I'm 27 now. I've learned to live with it, but if there's a way to fix it without surgery, I'd love to know more. Are there any non-surgical treatments or exercises that could help correct squint eyes?

Minor squint may be improved with vision therapy in children, but adult cases often need surgery for cosmetic correction.
