Your squint needs to be evaluated by an eye specialist. The cost will depend on the degree of squint & the no. Of muscles to be operated. Success rate again depends on your vision before surgery. Squint may reappear if you were amblyopic. The cost of myopia surgery depends on the type of surgery you are undergoing.
