My 1-year-old nephew was diagnosed with intermittent exotropia. I'm wondering if patching can really help fix this or if surgery is the only option. How effective are non-surgical treatments for kids this young?

Small inguinal hernias may be managed conservatively, but no proven Ayurvedic/homeopathy cure; untreated hernias may enlarge or strangulate, risking future complications.

View allI'm considering ICL surgery but I'm a strict vegetarian and worried about the collamer lenses from STAAR Surgical. I read online that they might be derived from animal sources is that true? If not, where do they come from? And is it possible to get ICL lenses that are 100% plant-based?
No, Collamer lenses used in STAAR Surgical's Visian ICL surgery are not derived from animal sources, and they are not 100% plant-based. They are a synthetic material that is specifically designed to be biocompatible with the eye and not derived from any animal products, though the lens does contain a small amount of purified collagen.

I'm thinking about getting LASIK surgery but I'm worried about the side effects like dry eyes how long does that usually last and are there other complications I should know about
Dry eyes after LASIK usually last 1–3 months; other rare risks include glare, halos, or undercorrection—use lubricants and follow up closely for better outcome.

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.
Squint surgery has no relation with vision. Kindly consult local squint specialist
