What to do if i have strabismus in my left eye. it always turns inward when i focus. how can i correct this without surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes glasses: Glasses (sometimes with prism is an option). This is not a great option if the turning is large

Eye exercises: There are exercises that can be done to try and change the muscles of the affected eye. Talk to your ophthalmologist (not an optometrist) about what exercises could be done and whether they would help in your particular instance
