bot ox is not the treatment for it. Ii is to be seen the vision of effected eye. Ambliopia in effected eye. Fixing capability of right eye or else you will have alternating squint. Operation may be just cosmetic. So refraction should be done. And orthooptic treatment may be required. After all invest i gation you may go for surgery. You have not given your age. Have second opinion before going for surgery.
