I've had esotropia squint eye since childhood and recently found out surgery might be an option. Is squint surgery really the best treatment with no risks or are there other alternatives I could consider? I'm not happy with how it looks and want to explore solutions.

Squint surgery (strabismus surgery) is a common and often effective treatment for esotropia, but it's not a perfect solution with no risks. While surgery can correct eye alignment and improve binocular vision, there are other non-surgical options to consider, and potential risks associated with surgery should be discussed with your doctor.

I have pretty bad myopia with -20 in my left eye and -23 in the right it's getting really tough to manage daily life. I'm considering ICL surgery but not sure which hospital in India would be the best for such high prescriptions. Any recommendations based on experience with extreme cases like mine?

For high myopia, LVPEI Hyderabad and Sankara Nethralaya Chennai are best for ICL surgery.

I'm getting cataract surgery on Monday but I'm really confused about choosing between Indian lenses and imported lenses. Are Indian lenses just as good or should I go for imported ones? I need some advice to make the right decision

Both Indian and imported lenses can offer excellent outcomes if chosen correctly. Indian lenses like *Aurolab* or *Appasamy* have improved significantly and are cost-effective, while imported ones like *Alcon* or *Zeiss* may offer advanced features like better contrast sensitivity or multifocality. Your choice should depend on your visual needs, lifestyle, and budget‚Äîdiscuss these with your surgeon for the best fit.
