Many individuals believe that a squint is a permanent condition with no possibility of correction. However, it’s important to note that eyes can be realigned at any stage of life.

Understanding Squint:
Squint, medically known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes do not align in the same direction. While it primarily affects children, it can manifest at any age, either consistently or intermittently. The squint may be present only periodically, occurring in one eye or alternating between both. It can manifest as the eyes turning inward (converging), outward (diverging), or occasionally upward or downward.

You might wonder about the causes – whether it’s congenital, a result of an accident, hereditary, or stems from factors like an imbalance in eye muscles, refractive errors, childhood illnesses, nerve palsy, and various other underlying reasons.

Squint Treatment

Regarding squint, treatment options encompass refractive error correction, occlusion therapy, and surgical intervention.
