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.
