                           SQUINT
Medically known as strabismus, squint is a very common 
Ophthalmological issue in which the eyes shows disturbed alignment.The 
affected eye does not sync with the focus and turn in either direction. The 
squint may show constant or intermediate effect on gaze.
Why does this happen:
The extra ocular muscles of eyes are responsible for eye movements,  
especially the eye ball. Interruption in working or either the muscles or 
the nerve supplying them results in the misalignment  of gaze. In some 
cases it may be due to the underlying neurological problems that results 
in incoordination , an injury to cranial nerve, due to a refractive defect or 
may  be an inherited defect. In cases of neurodevelopmental disorders 
like hydrocephalus or infections such as  measles.
The alarming symptoms :
1. It can be detected at a young age either since birth or in initial 6 
months when one eye does not look straight to a greater extent, 
2. Cross eye phenomena can be marked in minors when they get 
tired.
3. If child turns head while talking to someone in front while another 
eye is closed, it is an alarm. Go, see your doctor.
The squint as already discussed can present in multiple directions 
depending upon the cause:
• Exotropia: This presentation of eye ball can be called as divergent 
squint as the eye ball moves outward while focusing over an object.
• Exotropia,: In simplified version; converging squint where eye ball 
rotates inward while focusing straight.
• Hypertrophia : The word hyper itself explains the upward rotation 
of eyeball instead of getting fixed in front.
• Hypotropia : Hypo refers to downward rotation of eyeball when the 
brain try to get it straight.
Complications:
If untreated it lead to 
amblyopia, an eye defect 
where the  brain avoids 
the optic signals from 
affected eye.
The squint corrected in 
young age may 
reappear at adult 
hood. 
At times, a squint may 
worsen to land the brain 
to adapt with a double 
vision.
Treatment:
Squint used to be considered as a problem that could  not be cured in 
older times; with advancements in medical field the treatment is 
possible by various approaches.  Being most effective in younger age 
groups( less than 7 yrs), patients of all age groups can be treated for 
squint.
• Use of spectacles to correct the other optical defects such as 
myopia,hypermetropia thatmay be the root cause of squint.
• Postural correction, in case the squint is result of compensation to poor 
posture. 
• Wearing an eye patch covering good eye to let the affected eye get 
aligned in cases of minor squint.
• Botox injections to weaken  the tight muscle pulling the eyeball causing 
squint.
• Exercises of ocular muscles to get the eye ball in alignment.
• Surgery involving the release of tight extra ocular  muscles , correcting 
the nerve damage , re- imposing the muscle affecting the alignment, 
changing the lens to correct refractive disorders. 
• At times both eyes are treated surgically to restore the focus of optic 
pathway.
