Squint (Strabismus)
Understanding Squint in Children and Adults
A squint (strabismus) occurs when the eye muscles fail to work together in a coordinated manner, causing the eyes to point in different directions. This misalignment affects binocular vision, depth perception, and can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) if not treated early.
Under the expertise of Dr. Anagha Deshpande, patients receive detailed evaluation to determine the type, severity, and underlying cause of the squint, ensuring precise and personalised treatment.
Squint Treatment Options
Squint does not correct itself, and early intervention provides the best results. Dr. Anagha Deshpande offers a range of evidence-based squint treatments depending on the patient’s age and diagnosis.
Surgical Steps (Simplified):
Eye Muscle Exercises
Strengthen weaker muscles to improve alignment and visual coordination.
Glasses or Contact Lenses
Correct refractive errors—such as uncorrected farsightedness—that may cause eye crossing.
Prisms in Spectacles
Help align images and reduce double vision in suitable cases.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Therapy
Patch therapy or penalization to improve vision in the weaker eye.
No-Stitch Healing
Because the incisions are extremely small, they usually self-seal and do not require stitches.
Squint Surgery
A precise surgical procedure to adjust the eye muscles and realign the eyes. Surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments are insufficient.
Treatments may be used alone or in combination depending on the type, pattern, and severity of the strabismus.
