Squint

A deviation of the eye from the primary position is called squint. It can be congenital, or acquired, which further could be due to trauma and vascular problems. The reason for a squinting eye could be an uncorrected refraction, cataract, some retinal disease and a muscle imbalance. The cause needs to be found out early so that your vision can be maintained. You can have reduced vision, double vision, headache and strain due to Squint. The treatment involves assessment of vision and fixation pattern. Some types of squints, can be corrected only with the prescription of glasses, while for some types surgery in the only option for correcting the muscle imbalance. If, done at the appropriate time, results can be very good for correction of binocularity and vision.
