my child has a squint and I'm worried if it can be treated or if it might go away as they grow older at what age is surgery usually recommended for correcting squint
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A squint can be treated with glasses, eye exercises, or surgery, depending on severity. Surgery is typically recommended if the condition persists after the age of 3-4 years.

View allI have a squint of around 4 to 5 degrees both near and far, sometimes even 5 to 6 degrees. How can I overcome this? Will I need surgery? It really bothers me, and I feel like it affects my accuracy when drawing does squint cause that?
Yes, strabismus (squint) can be corrected, and whether surgery is needed depends on the severity and underlying cause. Non-surgical options like vision therapy, eye patches, glasses, or botox injections are often tried first. If these aren't effective, surgery to reposition the eye muscles may be necessary. It's also possible that squint affects drawing accuracy, but this would need to be assessed by a professional

I've had 3.5 distance vision for the past three years and wear glasses regularly. Lately, I've been seeing a lot about eye surgeries to get rid of glasses and contacts. I went to a well-known hospital for a consultation, and after some tests, the doctor said I'm eligible for LASIK surgery. They mentioned I could live glasses and contact lens-free after the procedure. But I'm a bit worried is LASIK really safe? Once it's done, will I actually be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts?
please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital
