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 have keratoconus in both eyes and I'm really confused about my options. One doctor suggested surgery while another said contact lenses are better than surgery and recommended trying them first. I'm only 17 and not sure what to choose should I go for contacts or consider surgery right away? What would be the best option for someone my age?
Information is very less.need to know level of keratoconus. In my point collagen crosslinking gives very good results in halting progression but all datas are to be seen and then to be decided the plan of treatment.

I have a prescription of -5 in my left eye and -4.5 in my right eye with 2.5 astigmatism in both eyes. Would I be a good candidate for LASIK? I'm really concerned about potential side effects like bad night vision, halos, and chronic dry eye after the surgery how likely are these to happen? What are the success rates for someone with my prescription? Could LASIK actually get me to a point where I don't need glasses anymore?
Patient is advised for an ophthalmologist opinion.

How successful is posterior polar cataract surgery usually and is it considered an emergency that needs immediate attention Also is this condition uncommon in younger people My far vision is slightly blurry but otherwise my eyes feel fine
Posterior polar cataract surgery requires expert handling due to risk of capsule rupture; it’s not an emergency unless vision is rapidly deteriorating.
