1. Can acquired squint be corrected only by eye exercise? (15° exotropia, but fusion remains 80% of the day)
2. Is squint a problem of eye muscle weakness or of brain nerve weakness?
3. Already operated for squint 18 years ago now what is the guarantee that eye do not drift again in future if I go for surgery again? Aren't squint suegries successful in India?
4. Doctor said to operate on my left eye to correct the squint in right eye because right eye muscle was already cut during my first surgery. Is it possible to correct squint like this? I am scared if my left eye also get squint after surgery.
PS. My vision is 6/6 in both eyes without any glasses.
