Squint (Strabismus) Treatment
At Wellbeing Eye Centre, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for squint (strabismus)—a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and may point in different directions. This can affect both vision and appearance, but with timely treatment, it can be effectively managed or corrected.
What is Squint (Strabismus)?
Strabismus occurs when the eyes do not work together as a team. One eye may look straight ahead while the other turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. This can lead to problems with depth perception and, in children, may cause lazy eye (amblyopia) if not treated early.
Common Signs & Symptoms
You or your child may need evaluation if you notice:
- Eyes not aligned or pointing in different directions
- Double vision
- Difficulty focusing on objects
- Head tilting or closing one eye to see clearly
- Eye strain or frequent headaches
- Poor depth perception

- Comprehensive eye examination
- Accurate diagnosis of the type and severity of squint
