Squint eye surgery
I have squint Eye outwards since I was 5 yrs old.
Left eye 6/9 with -5D.
Right eye 6/9 with -4.5D.
My doubt is if I go for Squint surgery will this make my retina week or increase the chances of retinal detachment? I want to treat my squint for cosmetic reasons but I fear of retinal detachment. Plz help, thanks.
