Squint
What is Squint?
Squint, medically known as Strabismus, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other focuses correctly. It can be constant or appear occasionally and may affect one or both eyes.
Causes of Squint:
Muscle imbalance controlling eye movement
Refractive errors (especially in children)
Congenital (present from birth)
Neurological or genetic conditions
Trauma or eye injury
Paralysis of eye muscles
Tumors or infections affecting eye nerves
Treatment Options:
Prescription glasses (especially if caused by refractive error)
Eye exercises (orthoptics)
Patching therapy (to improve lazy eye if present)
Botox injections (in some adult cases)
Squint correction surgery (to realign the eye muscles)
Diagnosis:
Detailed eye examination
Cover/uncover and Hirschberg tests
Refraction (to check for glasses)
Eye movement assessment
Fundus examination
Neurological evaluation (if needed)
