Squint Eye Evaluation & Treatment
Squint eye (also known as strabismus) is a condition in which the eyes do not align properly. Early evaluation and appropriate treatment help improve eye alignment, vision quality, and confidence.
What is Squint?
Squint occurs when one or both eyes deviate inward, outward, upward, or downward instead of looking straight . This misalignment can be constant or occasional and may affect vision development, especially in children.
Squint can appear at any age and may lead to poor depth perception or lazy eye if not treated in time.
Who Should Undergo Squint Evaluation?
- Children with visibly misaligned eyes
- Adults experiencing double vision
- Patients with frequent eye strain or headaches
- Individuals with reduced depth perception
- Anyone noticing eye deviation while focusing
What Comes under Squint Evaluation?
Step 1: Vision Assessment
Visual clarity and eye power are checked to determine any refractive errors contributing to eye misalignment...
Step 2: Eye Alignment Tests
Specialized tests are performed to measure eye position & movement.
Step 3: Binocular Vision Assessment
Both eyes are evaluated together to check depth perception and eye Coordination.
Step 4: Specialist Review
An eye specialist analyzes the findings and plans a customized treatment approach.
Squint Management
- Prescription glasses to correct refractive errors
- Eye patching therapy for lazy eye (amblyopia)
- Vision therapy exercises
- Squint correction surgery (if required)
- Regular monitoring and follow-up
Benefits of Early Squint Treatment
