Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent long-term vision problems. For effective care, consider Squint Eye Treatment in Nerul, Navi–Mumbai.
What is Squint (Strabismus)?
Squint, or strabismus, occurs when the eye muscles do not work together properly, causing one eye to turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards while the other eye looks straight ahead. This condition can be present from birth (congenital) or develop later in life. It can affect vision and depth perception, and if left untreated, may lead to amblyopia (lazy eye).
Symptoms of Squint
- Misaligned Eyes
- Double Vision
- Difficulty with Depth Perception
- Eye Strain or Discomfort
- Head Tilting or Turning
