I had very high myopia and very large squint (extropia),I undergone lasik surgery last year,my
squint and myopia was corrected on that time.After 3 months of eye operation ,the squint has been developed
again,my doctor advice me some brock string  exercise,Now I am doing the exercise but it is not so much effective.
Due to some to time shortage problem I can't undergo for squint surgery.

Is it any other way to correct the squint or exercise will help me?

The see a Eye MD ophthalmologist that specializes in eye muscle problems. It is not unusual for squint to reoccur in adults.

Let me tell you straight off. Like is risky. You take risks every day (driving in a car for example).

There is no treatment, no surgery that doesn't involve some risk (for example every year thousands of people bleed to death from aspirin).

There is not surgeon in the world that does not have complications.

Having said that Dr. Pakeman's training is excellent.

Exercises are generally ineffective for treating exotrophia. Your choices generally are live with it or have more strabismus surgery. See an Eye MD that specializes in eye muscle problems (usually called a pediatric ophthalmologist)
