My left eye keeps drifting outward away from my nose could this be exotropia? What causes it and are there any non-surgical ways to fix it or stop it from getting worse? I'm really worried about this happening

Yes, an outward drifting of your left eye could be exotropia, a type of strabismus (eye misalignment) where one or both eyes turn outward. While the exact cause isn't always clear, it can be related to genetics, eye muscle weakness, or neurological conditions. Non-surgical treatments like vision therapy, patching, and glasses may help manage or even correct the condition, but surgery might be necessary in some cases. It's best to consult with an eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

I have cylindrical power of 5.00 and spherical power of 4.00 in both eyes but my right eye struggles to read even with glasses for longsightedness my cornea thickness is 520 in both eyes and I'm 18 years old am I eligible for LASIK surgery
While your eye prescription suggests a high amount of both cylindrical and spherical power, and your cornea thickness is within the acceptable range for LASIK, your right eye's difficulty with reading even with glasses could indicate other factors that might make you ineligible for LASIK. Consulting with an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine your eligibility
