Can I get squint correction at the age of 26?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have a squint in my right eye and it has moved outwards. I do not have a proper vision in my right. I cannot see clearly through my right eye; even I recognize thing pretty hard. I want to know whether it can be corrected, so that both my eyes work together. I am confused as I am now 26 years old. Is the correction going to be difficult at this age? I am looking up for a second opinion from you. Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the pictures of your eyes (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is an outward deviation in the right eye. This has lead to poor vision in your eyes. It can be a cause or consequential. You can go for surgery for cosmetic purposes, but it will not get you vision. For vision, the underlying problem has to be treated and it is tough to get full vision at this age. You can send pictures of your old records for better assessment and treatment. Thank you.
