I'm a 27-year-old guy with good vision but I have a lazy eye. Sometimes my left eye drifts outward and other times it's my right eye. Is there a permanent surgery to fix this?

Yes, a type of surgery called strabismus surgery can address eye misalignment, including drifting or wandering eyes (exotropia), and can potentially correct or improve the issue. However, it's important to understand that this surgery corrects the eye misalignment, and not necessarily the "lazy eye" or amblyopia itself

I've had this stye on my lower left eyelid for weeks now. The doctor gave me antibiotics for 3 days and told me to use warm compresses, but it hasn't gotten any better. She mentioned an incision might be needed if it doesn't improve, but I'm really scared of any kind of eye surgery. Are there other options besides surgery to treat this stye? It's such a sensitive area and the thought of an operation freaks me out

Need Oral antibiotics ,oral painkillers ,with topical antibiotics n hot compression
