Squint surgery
Squint (Strabismus) is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned and may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. It can affect both children and adults and may lead to vision problems, including double vision or lazy eye (amblyopia) if not treated on time. Squint surgery is performed to correct eye alignment, improve binocular vision, and enhance appearance and confidence.
What is Squint (Strabismus)?
Squint occurs when the eye muscles do not work together properly, causing one eye to look straight while the other deviates.
