I am currently 20 years old but will be 21 very shortly. They said I have a stable prescription of -1.25 in each eye. My main worry is I had a squint when I was young (about 5 or 6 years old) and from what my mother told me all I had was eye exercises at the hospital to correct it. The squint came back when I was 15 years of age and I got glasses to help it and have been wearing them ever since. Even though the squint seems to be healed I am worried could laser eye surgery bring it back or effect my eye in any other way. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks, Nathan Hi Dave,

Both contact lenses and glasses correct this. My worry is I'll have 20/20 vision and a squint in my right eye. What advice would you give. Will the op correct this or will I need a secondary op inaddition. Hi Dave

If no improvement, then a flap lift and enhancement around 3 months post-op is what most clinics would do. Dave hi Gary

It will depend on the vision in each eye. Also, if you see well when wearing contact lenses, this is a good indication that you will do well after laser eye surgery.
