Squints (Strabismus)

Squints (Strabismus) - Treatments

Treatment varies with the type of squint present. In some, non-medical treatment (e.g. spectacles, eye patching, eye exercises, etc.) are more appropriate; while in others, eye muscle surgery is necessary.

As squints may occasionally be associated with an underlying brain or eye problem, the ophthalmologist would perform a thorough eye examination and may order further investigations to exclude such problems.
