I've had esotropia in my right eye for about six months now while my left eye is fine. My glasses prescription is 4.00 for the right eye and 3.75 for the left. Is surgery my only option or are there other ways to fix this squint without going under the knife

No, surgery isn't always the only solution for esotropia. Besides surgery, other treatments for esotropia include glasses, vision therapy, eye patches, or even botox injections in some cases.

My 72-year-old dad is scheduled for cataract surgery soon and has been regularly taking ecosprin. His cardiologist advised continuing it during the surgery since they won't be touching any nerves. Is it really safe to keep taking ecosprin before and after the cataract procedure?
