Terry asked:

I am thinking of laser eye treatment. I have a squint in my left eye and long vision. The consultant has told me the squint and vision will be corrected by the surgery. I will be having wavefront laser. Can you tell me if this will work? My glasses correct the squint and my vision,

Terry, There are different causes for squints. The laser correction itself will only change the focus of your eyes, but as some squints are linked to focusing of your vision, especially long-sight, the squint can be helped or removed through e.g. LASIK. You said your glasses correct your vision and the squint. If your glasses do NOT contain a prism to correct the misalignment of your eyes, then laser correction will likely do the same job as your glasses. The closest test is how your vision and squint is when fully correcting your focus with contact lenses, but glasses can perform a similar role. If your glasses contain a prism, then you will still need to wear glasses with a prism afterwards.
