I've had a squint eye since birth and I'm 24 now. If I get surgery for it, could it affect my vision? I'd like to know more about how squint surgery works and what to expect I've also attached a photo of my eyes for reference.

i want to get lasik surgery but im 22 is this the right age for it or should i wait also what tips should i keep in mind before going for the procedure

For the majority of the population, the ideal age range for LASIK surgery falls between 20 and 40 years. However, there is no upper limit for lasik provided the eye is healthy and does not have any other associated conditions(as discussed further)

I'm Prakash from Chennai and currently using contact lenses. I'm 26 with a power of 2.50 in both eyes, but my left eye has CYL 0.75 and Axis 170. I'm considering LASIK surgery is it a good option for me? Also, what would be the total cost and does medical insurance cover it?

COST depends on dr and hospital.
