Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello,

If the eye has a squint even after so many years and wearing of glasses, then it can be treated by surgery for proper alignment of the eyes. But you must remember that the squint surgery is meant to get the two eyes to become aligned only and is not meant to improve vision.You can consult a pediatric ophthalmologist as they are well verse with these kind of surgeries.

Regards
