Q: My 24 years old cousin has squint since birth. Is laser treatment possible? Can she go for a surgery? Please tell us about a good hospital in Chennai/Bangalore where squint surgeries are done.

A:Squint can be corrected surgically at more or less any age but cause of squint and visual function has to be investigated. Outcome will depend on that. Shankar Nethralay in Chennai is one of the best institutions in the country and even internationally. If they recommend surgery, you should go ahead. LASER treatment will not help for this condition.
