The condition is typically seen in children. This misalignment of the eyes occurs owing to improper movement of the eye muscles. When this happens, eyes turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A prevalent myth among people is that squinting eyes is a permanent condition with no treatment. The fact is that it does have various invasive and non-invasive treatment options. Through this blog, we intend to dispel squint-related myths and explore the causes behind the condition, the risks it poses, and the advantages of getting squint eye surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Causes_of_Squint_Eye\"><\/span>What are the Causes of Squint Eye?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple aspects contribute to the occurrence of the condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Congenital_Factors\"><\/span>Congenital Factors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Present right from birth due to developmental issues in the foetus.
