Would laser eye surgery fix a squint?

Question

Would laser eye surgery fix a squint?

Answer 1

maybe you need glasses

Answer 2

Sorry no, it is really only good for :

Short-sight

This is the most common vision problem. You can clearly see close-up objects such as a wrist watch. Distant objects are blurred and out of focus. You may have some astigmatism as well.

Long-sight

This is the opposite - distant objects like motorway signs are very clear, but nearby objects can be blurred and it's difficult to focus on close-up work for any time. You may also have astigmatism.

Astigmatism

This vision problem is often combined with short or long-sight.

Presbyopia (Reading glasses)

As you get older the eyes struggle to focus on close-up work - including reading.

Answer 3

No it wouldn't. A squint is a problem with weak muscles, laser eye surgery allegedly corrects long or short sight and astigmatism.

Answer 4

I don't think so, but botox will cure it.

Answer 5

i have a squint and my optamolagist told me that laser treatment would NOT sort it for me but if you have a free concultation with the eye surgery people they may say YES or NO

Answer 6

depends on why you squint. Laser surgery usually only improves focus or removes occlusions.

If you squint to improve your focus, then possibly yes. If you squint because of brightness or a muscle spasm, then no

Answer 7

you squint because you are having trouble focusing. if you get laser eye sx you will be able to see better and you will not need to squint.
