Squint Services

Squint is disorder which one eye misalign with other when focusing in a primary direction of gaze. Our Squint Service specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of strabismus (commonly known as squint), a condition where the eyes do not align properly, leading to them pointing in different directions. This misalignment can cause problems such as double vision, difficulty with depth perception, and in children, the development of amblyopia (lazy eye), which can result in long-term vision issues if left untreated.

 

Our team of expert ophthalmologists and optometrists use the advanced equipment to assess the underlying causes of strabismus, whether it is due to muscle imbalances, neurological issues, or refractive errors. Following a thorough examination, we provide a wide range of treatment options personalized to the individual needs of each patient. For children, early intervention is crucial, and non-surgical options such as vision therapy, corrective eyewear, or patching are often effective in improving eye alignment and preventing amblyopia.

 

In more complex cases or when non-surgical methods are insufficient, we offer surgical correction. This involves adjusting the muscles that control eye movement to restore proper alignment. Our surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to ensure high precision and quicker recovery times. Post-surgery, we provide regular follow-up care to monitor progress and ensure the best possible visual outcomes.

We understand that managing strabismus, especially in children, requires compassionate care and clear communication.

Our team works closely with families, providing ongoing support and education to help them understand the treatment process and what to expect. Whether for paediatric or adult patients, our Squint Service is committed to improving alignment, visual comfort, and overall quality of life, helping patients achieve optimal vision and better eye coordination.
