My relative has blurry vision and the doctor recommended lens replacement surgery. Can you explain what the exact diagnosis might be and if surgery is really necessary? I've attached the prescription for reference.

My eyes sometimes get squinty because of intermittent exotropia sometimes they're fine, other times they drift. Is surgery an option to fix this? I'm based in Chennai, so I'd like to know if there are good treatment options here.

Yes, surgery is a common and often effective treatment option for intermittent exotropia, but it's not the only one. Other options include glasses, eye patches, vision therapy, and even Botox injections. The best course of treatment depends on the individual's situation, including the severity and frequency of the eye deviation, as well as any other symptoms like headaches or double vision.
