The condition when both eyes don't see in one proper direction is known as squint or strabismus. It may impair depth, coordination, and visual comfort, which may result in self-consciousness and inabilities to cope with daily tasks. At Save Sight Centre, our team of experienced squint specialists can restore the function and balance to your eyes through advanced squint surgery techniques.
This guide describes the process from diagnosis to post-operative recovery for parents whose children have a squint, and for adults considering surgery to correct their squint.
The condition of one or both eyes pointing either inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards is referred to as strabismus, or squint, as a result of an inadequate alignment of the eye with the other.
This fatigue/illness misalignment may be permanent or temporary. Squint is not only a cosmetic problem. It may cause personal vision, lazy eye (amblyopia), and the inability to focus on things. An eye specialist can conduct an early examination and help to identify the underlying cause and avoid any long-term vision issues.
There are certain types, depending on the eye misalignment as follows:
Hypertropia
when the eye turns upwards
Hypotropia
when the eye turns downwards
Esotropia
when the eye turns inwards
Exotropia
when the eye turns outwards
Squint can occur at any age, but usually occurs in early childhood.
In early diagnosis of squint, treatment outcomes are much better. Signs and symptoms may include:

Treatment of squint in adults depends on its severity. Squint specialists, in most instances, guide glasses, prism lenses, or treatment to align the eyes. In the case of those who are ineligible for these options, surgery is advised. In other instances, Botox injections are also applied to relax muscles in the eye that are being overactive to bring in better eye coordination.
Squint surgery in adults has the potential to give cosmetic and visual benefits. It enhances eye alignment and depth perception. This makes it very convenient to drive and read. It also helps in regaining the beauty of your eyes, making many patients build confidence in work and social settings. Surgery results in many patients reporting that they experience improvement in eye strain and double vision.
Generally, the surgery is not painful because it is carried out under the influence of local or general anesthesia. Minor pain may occur, or reddening can be experienced for a couple of days. They, in turn, may be managed easily with eye drops and painkillers.
The best time of treatment is during childhood (around 3-6 years old). The surgery can, however, be performed in adults too, when necessary.
Squint cannot be fully treated naturally. There is no permanent remedy for squint eye misalignment, which is based on home remedies or exercises. Mild cases of squint could be relieved with initial interventions, which include using glasses, patching or even undergoing vision therapy. Squint is mostly caused by the absence of balance by muscles, nerve issues, or refractive errors, which need to be checked by the professionals. The most positive outcomes can be achieved when identified early.
All the cases of squint surgery are not 100 percent successful, yet they have a high rate of success. Most of the patients undergo the surgery with a significant improvement in the appearance and alignment of the eyes. Some of the factors defining the success are the age, the type of squint, the severity, and the follow-up care. It may need more treatment or even a second operation to have an optimum result.
Yes, LASIK can typically be performed on top of squint surgery. To this, there should be stability in the eye power, and the eyes should be healthy. Squint surgery is done to correct eye alignment, whereas LASIK corrects vision (number). These are two distinct processes. An examination of the eye is essential to determine the appropriate time and appropriateness of LASIK following the squint correction.
Eye exercises may assist in eye coordination and the reduction of strain, but they do not cure the squint permanently. One of the exercises that has been prescribed several times is the pencil push-up. To do this, you focus on a pencil as it comes towards your nose. However, they should be under the guidance of an eye specialist since the practices are supposed to improve the symptoms rather than worsen them.
