A squint is simply when the two eyes don't point in the same direction. In children it needs looking at early, because the brain can quietly start ignoring the weaker eye. In adults a long-standing or new squint can be straightened too, for comfort and for confidence. We treat squint at every age, from restless toddlers to grandparents.
Don't wait for a child to 'grow out of it' — untreated squint can cause a permanently lazy eye (amblyopia). Early treatment protects vision. Any child with a visible squint should be examined.
We measure the angle and check vision in each eye.
Glasses or patching strengthen a weaker eye in children.
Glasses, exercises, or squint surgery to align the eyes.
Ensuring alignment holds and both eyes work together.
Early treatment in children is most effective. Cashless mediclaim available for surgery.
Squint surgery is a day-care procedure that realigns the eye muscles. Children adapt quickly; mild redness settles within a week or two. In children, glasses or patching for lazy eye may continue alongside.
Adult squint — whether long-standing or new — can be corrected surgically to restore alignment, comfortable vision and confidence.
