I've had high myopia for the past 2 years with my right eye at SPH 4.0 CYL 5.0 AXIS 20 VA 624 and left eye SPH 3.5 CYL 4.5 AXIS 160 VA 69. My doctor says there's no way to reduce my number but I'm really hoping there might be some treatment or surgery that could help. I'm only 17 and worried about my vision getting worse are there any options for me?

My eyes squint whenever I take off my high-power glasses, and I can't wear them outside. Is there any way to treat squint eyes without surgery? Would contact lenses help with this issue?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatment options for squint eyes, and contact lenses could be one of them, especially if your squint is related to a refractive error. Vision therapy, eye patching, and prism glasses are other non-surgical approaches. If your squint is caused by a refractive error (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), wearing the correct prescription glasses or contact lenses can help align your eyes and reduce squinting.
