My 5-year-old daughter has a squint in one eye that comes and goes it moves back to normal on its own. She does have eyesight issues, and I've noticed when she focuses, one eye drifts toward her nose. Is there a way to treat this without surgery? Also, could you recommend some good doctors for this?

I have a minor corneal scar and I'm wondering if there are any non-surgical treatments like eye drops that can help improve it. Is there anything that can be done without going for surgery?

Some common eye drops for corneal abrasion include erythromycin ointment, ciprofloxacin drops, and moxifloxacin drops. You probably won't need pain relievers. But if you do, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter (OTC) oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
