Eye issue..
Hi, I have partially accommodative estropia, which was diagnosed in my childhood, requiring me to wear spectacles. I am now 19 years old.
My previous doctor has recommended two surgeries to address my condition:
1. Squint Surgery: This is because I still have a visible squint(little bit) even while wearing my glasses. The purpose of this surgery is to correct the squint that is apparent through the glasses.
2. LASIK Surgery: This procedure is intended to remove my glasses by correcting my vision, which would also address the squint.
I would greatly appreciate your advice on whether these surgical options are suitable for my case. Additionally, I h interested in understanding disadvantages and riskHere's the glass prescription written clearly:
Right Eye:
SPH: +4.00
CYL: -1.75
AXIS: 110°
Left Eye:
SPH: +4.00
CYL: -1.00
AXIS: 80°
Vision Aided: 6/9+ (for both eyes) what do you suggest?

Hi, at your age the squint surgery corrects the squint for aesthetic purposes only. So if you really want to correct your looks you can go for it. But the LASIK surgery needs more examination like ORB scan and full retina examination. Without which it would be difficult to suggest anything.
