FAQ
Here are some common questions about Squint (Strabismus).
Is strabismus surgery the only possible treatment?
The management of squint is planned into two stages depending upon presence of refractive error and/or muscle weakness. first of all, a complete evaluation is done to see if there is any need of specs. we might see improvement in squint after proper use of prescription glasses. In second stage if the squint is not fully corrected even after using prescription glasses strabismus surgery for balancing of muscles is planned.
If squint develops again, can it be re-operated?
Squint may re-appear sometimes in later ages, which had been operated earlier. It needs to be thoroughly evaluated and accordingly a re-surgery may be needed.
Does squint surgery improve the vision?
As such, squint surgery does not enhance vision and instead aligns the eye. Aligning the retina is critical for treating amblyopia (lazy eyes) in children that actually in a way helps in improving the vision of kids. This does, however, actually improves cosmesis in adults.
