Can Laser Eye Surgery Treat Squinting?[video]
Strabismus or squints cannot be treated with Laser Eye Surgery as this is surgery that is required on the muscles around the eye. Laser Eye Surgery should have no bearing on a strabismus or a squint.

Patients can experience fluctuations within their refractions while they are uncontrolled and as a result, the results of the actual treatment may not be as accurate as they could be. In addition, while they are uncontrolled, they tend to have… Read more
