Dear Doctor, My Child aged 4 Years is suffering from SQUINT. Both her eyes are directed inward. We have had her checkup done every 6 Months at a medical facility. They say that her squint can only be corrected through surgery. I would like to know what kind of surgery is performed. Is there any risks or side effects of this surgery? Please Advise me the Same Worried Parent.
