Squint, or strabismus, occurs when both eyes do not remain properly aligned and look in the same direction. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment, particularly in children.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
What is Squint?
Squint, medically known as strabismus, is a condition in which the two eyes are not properly aligned and may point in different directions.
One eye may look straight while the other turns inward, outward, upward or downward. The deviation may be present constantly or appear intermittently.
In children, timely assessment is vital because persistent misalignment can interfere with normal visual development and lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) and loss of binocular depth perception.
Squint Carefocuses on assessing eye alignment, preserving visual function, and guiding timely intervention for both children and adults.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Squint Care FAQs
What causes squint?
Squint can have several causes, including problems with eye-muscle control, refractive errors, differences in vision between the eyes or other underlying eye or neurological conditions.
Is squint common in children?
Squint can occur during childhood. Any persistent or recurring eye deviation should be evaluated rather than assuming the child will simply outgrow it.
Can squint cause lazy eye?
Yes. In some children, the brain may begin relying more heavily on one eye, which can result in reduced vision in the deviating eye.
Does every squint require surgery?
No. Treatment depends on the type and cause of the squint. Some patients may require glasses or amblyopia treatment, while surgery may be appropriate for others.
Can adults undergo squint treatment?
Yes. Adults with squint can also be evaluated for appropriate treatment depending on the cause, symptoms and eye alignment.
When should my child have a squint evaluated?
If you notice persistent, frequent or recurring misalignment of the eyes, an eye examination should be arranged. Sudden-onset squint should be assessed promptly.
