Can my single squint eye be corrected surgically?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 20 year old male. I am having squint in my right eye. It is turned inwards by birth and I have no vision and also cannot see anything in my right eye. My left eye is 100% perfect. I met an eye specialist. He checked my squint and told that my vision is not recoverable. I have no pain or headache. I do not have any other health issues. I have not been taking any medicines or using spectacles too. Next year, I am planning to get married. My eye looks bad, but I am not worried about my vision even now as I have one eye to see the world. My main concern is can something be done to correct the squint? I just want both my eyes looking straight with eye movements like a normal human. Can my squint be corrected surgically just for cosmetic purpose? I have attached my eye photos and medical test reports for your reference. Kindly help me. It is a matter of my life. Without cosmetic eye correction, I cannot marry my girl. I am waiting for a positive response. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the pictures of your eyes and old records (attachment removed to protect patient identity).It is definitely possible to make eyes look straight and correct the squint with eye surgery.It is not a complicated surgery and gives good cosmetic results without any side effects, provided it is done in experienced hands. For this, surgery is the only option. Spectacles will not help you at this age.

I hope I have addressed your concerns. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.Thank you.

This is not done by all eye doctors. There are separate trained specialists in this field known as pediatric ophthalmol.
