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?

Had PRK surgery a year ago but still have some dryness in my eyes is it okay to use a warm compress for relief?

Yes, using a warm compress for relief of dry eyes after PRK surgery is generally considered safe and can be helpful. It can help to stimulate the meibomian glands, which produce the oily substance that keeps tears from evaporating too quickly
