How to deal with eye squint in adults? Are there any eye exercises or squint surgery is the only option?

Question

Hi,
squints in adults can be treated using several methods, including:
eye muscle exercises
glasses containing prisms
eye muscle surgery
muscle exercises can be helpful in treating a form of squints in adults in which the eyes cannot align themselves for close work or reading. However, eye muscle exercises are rarely useful in other cases of squints in adults.
Eye glasses with prisms can correct mild double vision associated with squints in adults.
The prisms can be worn on the outside of the eye glass frames or can be manufactured directly into the lens itself.
Prism eye glasses usually cannot correct more severe cases of double vision where images are far apart or double vision caused by weak or tight muscles.
Eye muscle surgery is the most common treatment for squints. Typically, squints occur when the muscles surrounding the eyes are either too stiff or too weak. Squint surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis using general or local anesthesia. You can often return to your normal activities within a few days.
More than one surgery may be needed to treat this condition depending on the severity of the case.
Consult an opthalmologist (eye specialist) for detailed information.
