FAQs

  • What causes a squint? 
    A squint, also known as strabismus, can be caused by various factors: 
    Congenital (from birth): Some people are born with weak eye muscles or a problem with the eye itself that  causes it to turn.
    Heredity: There may be a family history of squint.
    Refractive errors: Uncorrected farsightedness (hyperopia) can lead to a squint.
    Eye injury or trauma: Any injury to the eye muscles can cause misalignment.
    Neurological conditions: Conditions affecting the brain or nerves that control the eye muscles can cause a  squint.
     

  • How can I fix squint eyes naturally? 
    While squint correction usually requires medical intervention, certain exercises and habits may help in managing or preventing progression:
    Eye exercises: These can help strengthen eye muscles and improve coordination.
    Eye relaxation techniques: Palming, blinking, and focusing exercises can reduce eye strain.
    Healthy eye habits: Proper lighting, avoiding excessive screen time, and regular breaks can help maintain good eye health.
     

  • Can a squint eye be corrected? 
    Yes, a squint can often be corrected with appropriate treatment, which may include:
    Glasses: Correcting refractive errors that contribute to the squint.
    Eye patches: For certain types of squint, patching the stronger eye can help strengthen the weaker eye.
    Eye drops: Sometimes, special eye drops are prescribed to relax the stronger eye and encourage the weaker eye to work.
    Surgery: In cases where other treatments are not effective, surgery may be recommended to correct the alignment of the eyes.
     

  • Is a squint a lazy eye? 
    A squint is not the same as a lazy eye (amblyopia), but they can sometimes occur together. A squint is a misalignment of the eyes, while a lazy eye refers to reduced vision in one eye due to abnormal visual development early in life.
     

  • Is having a squint a disability?
    A squint itself is not typically considered a disability. However, if it significantly affects vision or if it's associated with other eye conditions that cause visual impairment, it could impact daily activities and quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment can often prevent these complications.
