A squint is a condition where your eyes look in different directions. One eye turns inwards, outwards, upwards or downwards while the other eye looks forwards. The medical name for a squint is strabismus. The misalignment of the eyes can be caused by a problem with the eye muscles or by an uncorrected vision problem, such as short-sightedness or long-sightedness.
Our aim is to restore good vision to each eye and good binocular vision. Our world class treatment usually includes patching the eye that is always straight to bring the vision up to normal in the affected eye.
Our qualified surgeons correct a squint by special method which involves moving the muscles attached to the outside of the eye to a new position. It may be necessary to operate on both eyes to balance them effectively, even if the squint is only in one eye. It takes less than an hour to perform for our experts; the procedure is often carried out as a day case, so patient will be able to go home the same day.
