Is LASIK surgery actually safe in the long run? I've heard mixed things about potential risks or complications years after the procedure and it's making me hesitant to go through with it

LASIK surgery is generally considered a safe procedure with a high success rate, and most patients experience long-term benefits. While there are potential risks and complications, serious long-term issues are rare, and most patients maintain clear vision for many years.

I've had esotropia in my right eye for about six months now while my left eye is fine. My glasses prescription is 4.00 for the right eye and 3.75 for the left. Is surgery my only option or are there other ways to fix this squint without going under the knife
No, surgery isn't always the only solution for esotropia. Besides surgery, other treatments for esotropia include glasses, vision therapy, eye patches, or even botox injections in some cases.
