My right eye doesn't open as much as my left one, and it makes them look uneven. Would eyelid surgery help fix this so they match better?

Eyelid ptosis can be corrected by minor eyelid surgery to improve symmetry and function; consult an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation.

Can you recommend a good laser surgery option to remove my glasses? I'm planning to join the defense sector and need clear vision without specs. Also, does the cornea heal back to its original shape after laser treatment without any cuts being made?

Consult opthalmologist for that.

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.
