I've had a squint in my right eye since childhood but it's become more noticeable lately. I'm 28 now are there non-surgical ways to fix this? Could special glasses or eye exercises help correct it?

In such cases, corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses can help by adjusting the focus, allowing the eyes to align more naturally. This is a squint eye treatment in adults that may be practical for addressing refractive errors. Prescription eyewear compensates for vision issues that might lead to squinting

My father needs cataract surgery and the doctor prescribed Phaco Emulsification with PCIOL left in local anaesthesia. I don't fully understand what PCIOL means is it the same as the Alcon AcrySof IQ monofocal lens? I'm considering the Alcon AcrySof IQ lens for him but want to know more about its features is it hydrophobic, aspheric, and UV-protected? Also, is it preloaded? Where can I find detailed info about this lens? What's the difference between the Alcon AcrySof IQ and the PCIOL mentioned in the prescription? Just trying to make sure we pick the best option for his surgery.

PCIOL stands for Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens, and yes, Alcon AcrySof IQ is a type of PCIOL.
