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.

Other options include glasses, eye patches, vision therapy, and even Botox injections.

I have a power of 6.5 with a slight squint in my right eye. I really want to get rid of my glasses and also fix the squint. Can I go for LASIK first and then get squint surgery later, or should I do it the other way around? What's the best approach for this?

It's generally recommended to address the squint (strabismus) before considering LASIK surgery, especially with a high refractive error like yours. LASIK can sometimes affect eye muscle balance, potentially making the squint worse. A consultation with a strabismus specialist and your ophthalmologist is crucial to determine the best course of action.
