Q: I am a 23 years old boy suffering from a squint for the last 13 years. I got my eyes checked from many doctors who suggested eye exercises but I never did those seriously. I had a surgery done 5 years back, but I still have the squint and now I exercise daily as suggested by many doctors. Is there any way to treat the squint? My eye power is -0.50 and -0.75.
A:If you still has a squint (having been operated once), and desires correction, the only option available to you is to undergo another cosmetic squint surgery to attempt to align the eyes. Exercises will not help much if the angle of the squint is constant and greater than 10 PD.
