Squint (Strabismus) Treatment in Vaishali, Ghaziabad – Drishti Eye & ENT Care
Strabismus, commonly known as squint or crossed eyes, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly and point in different directions. This misalignment can affect both children and adults and may cause vision problems, reduced depth perception, and impact self-confidence. At Drishti Eye & ENT Care, we offer advanced diagnosis and effective treatment for squint to restore proper eye alignment and binocular vision.
What is Squint (Strabismus)?
Squint occurs when the extraocular muscles controlling the eyes do not work in harmony. One eye may turn inward (esotropia), outward (exotropia), upward (hypertropia), or downward (hypotropia). Causes can include refractive errors, nerve or muscle dysfunction, or neurological issues.
Symptoms and Impact
- Eyes that appear crossed or turned
- Double vision or poor depth perception
- Head tilting or closing one eye to see better
- Possible development of lazy eye (amblyopia)
- Impaired binocular vision affecting daily activities and confidence.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Our specialists perform comprehensive eye exams including:
- Hirschberg corneal reflex test to assess eye alignment.
- Refraction and visual acuity tests.
- Muscle function and binocular vision assessment.
- Additional imaging if neurological causes are suspected.
Treatment Options at Drishti Eye & ENT Care
- Corrective Lenses: Glasses or contact lenses to correct underlying refractive errors.
- Vision Therapy: Eye exercises to improve muscle coordination and binocular function.
- Patch Therapy: Used in amblyopia where the stronger eye is patched to improve vision in the weaker eye.
- Prism Lenses: Help realign images to reduce double vision.
- Surgical Correction: Eye muscle surgery to realign the eyes when other treatments are insufficient. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia for children and local anesthesia for adults with a quick recovery period.
- Botox Injections: Temporary muscle relaxation to help correct misalignment in select cases.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Early intervention, especially in children, provides the best chance for normal vision development and avoiding permanent vision loss. Treatment is customized based on the type, severity, and cause of squint, ensuring the most effective results.
