Types of Squints

Why Binocular Vision Matters

In normal vision, both eyes send slightly different pictures of the world to the brain, which merges them into a single 3D perception. This skill is called binocular vision. Without it, a child's depth perception is severely limited, which can make everyday tasks difficult:

• Pouring juice into a cup without spilling.
• Catching or hitting fast-moving balls in sports.
• Walking or running up and down stairs.
• Judging the speed of oncoming traffic when crossing roads.

Treatment Paths for Squint

Not all squints require surgery. The treatment path depends on the patient's age and type of strabismus:

• ✔
  Spectacles: In some children, a squint is caused entirely by farsightedness. When glasses are worn, the eyes align perfectly.
• ✔
  Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Therapy: If a squint has caused the brain to turn off one eye, the child must undergo patching or drop therapy to strengthen that eye before any realignment is done.
• ✔
  Squint Surgery: If misalignment remains after correcting refractive errors and lazy eye, micro-surgery is performed to weaken or strengthen specific eye muscles to straighten the eyes.
