View allMy left eye keeps drifting outward away from my nose could this be exotropia? What causes it and are there any non-surgical ways to fix it or stop it from getting worse? I'm really worried about this happening
Yes, an outward drifting of your left eye could be exotropia, a type of strabismus (eye misalignment) where one or both eyes turn outward. While the exact cause isn't always clear, it can be related to genetics, eye muscle weakness, or neurological conditions. Non-surgical treatments like vision therapy, patching, and glasses may help manage or even correct the condition, but surgery might be necessary in some cases. It's best to consult with an eye doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options.

will the medical examiners be able to tell if i had lasik surgery done when i go for my recruitment tests i'm worried they might notice my eyes were corrected
During a recruitment medical exam, LASIK surgery typically won't be noticeable unless it's recent. Most examiners won’t detect past LASIK unless they specifically test for vision correction history.

My grandmother had cataract surgery about 2 months ago and I'm wondering what foods would help her recovery. Is it okay for her to eat chicken, meat, and eggs or should she avoid certain things?
Yes, she can eat chicken, eggs, and meat. Encourage high-protein, soft, vitamin-rich foods. Avoid overly spicy or fried food until full healing.
