Causes of Eye Misalignment (Strabismus)

Eye misalignment can occur due to several underlying factors. Understanding the cause helps in choosing the most effective treatment.

Muscle Imbalance

Eye alignment depends on six muscles working together in harmony. When these muscles do not coordinate properly, it can lead to misalignment.

Refractive Errors

Uncorrected vision problems, especially farsightedness (hyperopia), can strain the eyes and cause them to turn inward.

Neurological or Developmental Factors

Certain conditions affecting the brain or nerve control can interfere with how the eye muscles function, leading to poor alignment.

Associated Conditions

Childhood illnesses, infections, injuries, or trauma can sometimes contribute to the development of eye misalignment.

Treatment Options for Eye Misalignment (Strabismus Care)

Precision Corrective Glasses

Expertly prescribed glasses correct refractive errors and support natural eye alignment and help in squint correction, enhancing visual clarity and comfort.

Personalized Vision Therapy

Our customized eye exercise programs are designed to strengthen eye muscles, improve coordination, and restore balanced vision through guided therapy.

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Management

Specialized treatments, including therapeutic patching and medicated eye drops, help stimulate the weaker eye and promote proper visual development—especially in children.

 State-of-the-Art Strabismus Surgery

Performed by experienced specialists, this advanced procedure carefully adjusts eye muscle position surgically to achieve precise alignment which helps both eyes to focus together, enhancing binocular vision and overall eye coordination which leads to improved vision and aesthetic appearance.

Why Is Treatment Important?

If left untreated, squint can lead to:

• Lazy eye (amblyopia) in children
• Double vision in adults
• Poor depth perception
• Restricted binocular peripheral vision
• Reduced confidence due to cosmetic concerns

Early treatment ensures better visual development and long-term eye health.

Key Benefits

• Improved eye alignment
• Better visual coordination
• Enhanced appearance and confidence
• Prevention of long-term vision problems

Who Needs Squint Surgery?

• Children with noticeable eye misalignment
• Children with lazy eye with squint
• Adults experiencing double vision
• Patients not responding to glasses or eye exercises
• Individuals with long-standing squint affecting appearance
  

What to Expect During the Procedure

• Performed under general anesthesia (in children) or local anesthesia (in adults)
• Safe and commonly performed procedure
• Usually completed within a short duration
• Day-care surgery in most cases
  

Post-Surgery Care

• Mild redness or discomfort is normal initially
• Use prescribed eye drops regularly
• Avoid rubbing the eyes
• Follow-up visits are important for recovery
