Squint Eye Specialist in Mumbai

Squint Eye Surgery

Squint eye, which is also known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. While one eye looks straight ahead, the other may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward, leading to visual disorientation. This misalignment can occur occasionally or consistently and may affect one or both eyes. Squint eye is more common in children, but it can also develop in adults due to conditions like nerve damage, eye injuries, or other underlying health issues.

Squint eyes not only affect the appearance but also interferes with binocular vision, making it difficult for the brain to merge images from both eyes into a single, clear picture. Over time, untreated cases can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye), depth perception issues, or double vision.

However, early diagnosis can significantly improve outcomes. Treatment alternatives vary depending on the severity and cause but usually include corrective glasses, vision therapy, or surgery. Addressing squint eye at an early stage can ensure better visual health and prevent long-term complications.

Lazy Eye/Amblyopia

Cataract Eye Surgery
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is an eye condition that impairs the ability to see clearly out of both eyes. It often begins in infancy or early childhood and can worsen if left untreated.

If a child has amblyopia, one of their eyes has blurry vision, and the other has clear vision. Their brain begins to overlook the vision from their blurry eye, relying solely on the eye with sharp vision for sight. As their brain relies more on their stronger eye, their weaker eye’s vision becomes amblyopic (Lazy)

Amblyopia is the leading cause of vision impairment in children. It affects around 5% of children younger than 15.

You can’t prevent amblyopia or the other vision issues that cause it. However, the most beneficial action for the health and clarity of your child’s eyesight is to ensure they are examined regularly by a squint eye specialist.
