Q: I am a 15 years old male suffering from squint since birth. My left eye is normal but my right eyeball doesn't move at all. I don't wear spectacles. The doctor has advised not to disturb the eye and just wait and watch. Can this disease be cured? How much does it cost? Would my right eye become normal?

A:You need to be examined by a squint specialist who will evaluate the type of squint you have and the amount of deviation or mal-alignment in your eyes. Only then can a decision be taken regarding the benefits of surgery. The cost of squint surgery varies and will depend on the kind of squint surgery performed.
