I have pretty high sphere and cylinder numbers in my prescription and I'm considering laser surgery but I've never worn glasses or contacts before. Is it safe to go straight to surgery without trying corrective lenses first? What should I know about the risks or recovery?

Consult opthalmologist for that.

I've been dealing with strabismus and exotropia for a while and read about surgery being an option. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments I could try? Also, could you suggest where I should go for treatment and roughly how much it might cost? Lately, it's been really affecting my confidence, especially in professional settings where eye contact matters a lot.
