My 3-year-old son might have crossed eyes I noticed it in some of his photos recently. We're really worried and want to figure out the best steps to take. Should we go straight to an eye hospital or find a pediatric eye specialist first? What's the best way to confirm the issue and get honest treatment options, preferably without surgery?

My eye power is really high and I'm 28. Is LASIK surgery safe for me? I'm worried about the risks but really want to get rid of my glasses as soon as possible. Can you suggest if it's a good option for me?

However if there are fluctuations in eye power then there is a possibility of some recurrent eye power even after the LASIK surgery. Therefore it is important to ensure that the eye power is stable for the last 1-2 years before planning LASIK surgery
