Question:

I have had a slight squintness since birth. I have had two operations - none of which really helped. I would like to know whether it is possible to correct squintness non-surgically, eg with exercises as I am hesitant to undergo surgery once more.
Regards,

Answer:

Dear Annie,

No, squinting cannot be cured by exercises. What sort of squint do you have ? At what age were you operated ? Let us know.

Yours truly,
