Overview

Squint, also known as strabismus, is a condition in which both the eyes are unable to focus on the same direction at the same time. In such instances, while one eye may be able to focus on an object being observed, the second eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards at the same time. Usually, this happens when the extra ocular muscles, which control the movement of the eyes and eyelids, are unable to function in tandem. As a result, neither eye can focus on the same point at the same time. This deformity can also occur if the eyes cannot coordinate properly due to a complication within the nervous system. Strabismus disrupts binocular vision which hampers the patient’s depth perception. In India, the general incidence rate of strabismus, or squint eye, is between 4% and 6%. Premature new-borns, on the other hand, have a incidence rate of 30% to 40%.

Indications for Squint treatment
A. Glasses and myopia therapy for restoration and correction of vision
B. Correction of deviation for cosmetic purposes
C. Correction of deviation for preservation and restoration of binocular vision
D. Prevention of diplopia
Few risk factors that can lead to the development of a squint eye
  1. People who have experienced stroke or are affected with Down syndrome or cerebral palsy are more prone to developing a squint eye
  2. People with hyperopia or far-sightedness are at a higher risk of developing a squint because of the extra strain they tend to put on their eyes to see clearly
  3. People who have a family history of squint eye are more susceptible to getting afflicted
  4. Poor vision in one eye.
  5. Hydrocephalus (a congenital disease that results in a build-up of fluid in the brain).
