What is Squint (Strabismus)?
Squint, medically known as Strabismus, is a condition where both eyes are not aligned properly and look in different directions. One eye may look straight while the other may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. This condition can affect both children and adults and may impact vision, depth perception, and overall appearance.

What is Squint Surgery?
Squint surgery is a procedure that corrects the position of eye muscles to align the eyes properly. During the surgery, the eye muscles are either tightened or loosened to bring both eyes into proper alignment so they can work together.
