A squint eye, also known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and do not point in the same direction. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward, while the other eye remains focused on a particular point. This misalignment can lead to problems with depth perception and binocular vision, where both eyes work together to produce a single, coherent image. Strabismus can affect one or both eyes and may be constant or intermittent. The causes of strabismus can vary and may include congenital factors, where the condition is present from birth due to abnormalities in the muscles or nerves that control eye movement. Other causes can include visual impairments, such as severe farsightedness, which can cause the eyes to turn to compensate, or neurological disorders that affect the coordination of eye movements. Strabismus can also develop as a result of muscle imbalances or injury to the eye.
Treatment for strabismus often involves a combination of approaches tailored to the individual's specific needs. For children, early intervention is crucial and may include corrective glasses or contact lenses to address underlying vision problems. Eye exercises or vision therapy can help strengthen the eye muscles and improve coordination. In some cases, if non-surgical methods are insufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary to realign the eyes by adjusting the muscles responsible for eye movement. For adults, treatment may also involve addressing any underlying conditions contributing to the strabismus and using prisms in glasses to help align the visual field. Regular follow-up with an ophthalmologist or optometrist is essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
