Laser after squint op

    I had a squint op when I was 3, and again when I was 23 (13 years ago) both on the same eye. Second time round, the surgeon made a bollox of it and had to cut & reattach again, leaving blood in my eye which has never completely gone away since.

    Does anyone know if this rules me out of laser treatment?

    It really depends on what the vision is like in the eye that you had the operation on. Basically, if something were to go wrong with the other eye, would you be happy with your vision in the eye that had the squint operation? Is the eye straight at the minute?

    I had a squint op when I was 2 which left me with a lazy eye, and then Lasik last December. I'm not sure about your specific situation (blood in the eye), but I was still able to get lasered fine in both eyes.
