Squint (strabismus) — when the eyes don't point in the same direction — affects children and adults. Early treatment can save vision in children. This guide explains squint treatment, when surgery helps, leading eye institutes in India and Bihar, and how to choose.
Squint surgery is done by paediatric ophthalmologists and strabismus specialists. Leading eye institutes include the Dr. R.P. Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences at AIIMS New Delhi, Sankara Nethralaya (Chennai), L V Prasad Eye Institute (Hyderabad), Aravind Eye Hospitals and Narayana Nethralaya (Bengaluru). In Bihar, eye services are available at the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology (IGIMS), AIIMS Patna and private eye hospitals. Children with squint should be seen early, as glasses and patching may be needed before surgery.
A squint (strabismus) is a misalignment of the eyes — one eye may turn in, out, up or down. In children it can cause lazy eye (amblyopia), where vision in the turned eye doesn't develop properly, so early treatment matters.
Treatment may include glasses, patching the stronger eye, eye exercises and, when needed, surgery to adjust the eye muscles. Squint surgery is usually a day-care procedure.
