My son was born premature and we noticed a bump on his left eyelid when he closes his eyes. Later, he developed a squint, so we tried glasses and patching as the doctor suggested, but he's not cooperating. Now the doctor recommended squint surgery is 1.6 years too early for the procedure? What are the possible side effects or complications we should be aware of?

Squint surgery, especially in young children, carries several potential risks. These include temporary discomfort or pain, infection, bleeding, and scarring. In rare cases, surgery may lead to over or under-correction of the squint, requiring further procedures or vision problems like double vision. Other complications can include damage to surrounding tissues or nerves, affecting eye movement or vision.

Snail track degeneration is not contraindications for Refractive surgery. Anyway Lasik will not be suitable for you. You will hv to consider ICL. Please discuss with your Ophthal.

What happens if the sphincter muscle in the eye gets cut or damaged during cataract surgery and how do doctors fix this issue
If the sphincter muscle, responsible for pupillary constriction, is damaged during cataract surgery, the pupil may become dilated and may not react properly to light. Doctors can often fix this through surgical repair of the iris, which may include suturing the sphincter muscle and potentially repositioning or replacing the intraocular lens if it's also affected
