Suggest Treatment For Strabismus

I used to have strabismus in my left eye when i was 7 years old..but it was cured with help of medicines..now i am 22 years old and it had started appearing again...the variation is quiet slight but if you look closely it is visible... Can it b cured with eye exercises or patching or do i need surgery?

strabismus is visual alignment problem. refraction is to be done and if age permit surgical corection can be done.with your age exercise may not be that helpful. cosmetic corection can be done. patching and exercises help before age of nine. consult eye doctor for examination and advise.
