Squint Correction
When the eyes are not pointed in the same direction, it is called strabismus and is referred to as a squint. Squint eyes can happen at any age and affect people of all ages, but they mostly affect children. Only seldom, in one eye or alternately in both, can the squint be seen. The squinting may converge, diverge, or occasionally turn upward or downward. Squints can be inherited, unintentional, or arise at birth. Many individuals believe that squints cannot be treated because they are permanent conditions. However, the truth is that anyone can have their eyes straightened. The infant must be evaluated as soon as possible if the cause of the squint is thought to be a child. Sometimes a “Pseudo Squint” may be present due to a wide gap between the eyes, a flat nose bridge where the eyes do appear misaligned but do not actually have the squint. The most common squint eye treatment in adults is eye muscle surgery.
