It happens due to a lack of alignment in one eye. While the healthy eye focuses well, the squint eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards. However, it is also possible that both the eyes have a squint. According to <strong>NIH (National Institutes of Health)<\/strong>, <strong>2 &#8211; 5%<\/strong> of Indian children suffer from strabismus. For premature babies, the prevalence goes up to <strong>30 &#8211; 40%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Detect_a_Squint_Which_is_Not_Noticeable\"><\/span>How to Detect a Squint Which is Not Noticeable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor squints in children may not be easy to identify. So, parents should stay alert and watch out for signs like &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Child complaining of blurred vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent headaches and eye strain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Child often rubbing eyes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red or watery eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discharge from the eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eyelids getting swollen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eyelids sticking together<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Child finding it difficult to read<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Child\u2019s inability to comprehend distances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Child stepping too close to things to see<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whitish opacity in the eye<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Causes_Squint\"><\/span>What Causes Squint?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There could be diverse reasons behind cross-eyes, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Family history<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Birth defect<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neurological ailments like nerve damage, stroke, brain tumors, Down syndrome, head trauma, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viral infections like measles and dengue fever<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refractive errors (eye sight issues) like <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/myopia-nearsightedness-risks-causes-and-prevention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">myopia (nearsightedness)<\/a>, hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/hypermetropia-vs-presbyopia-causes-symptoms-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">presbyopia<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_for_Squint\"><\/span>Treatment for Squint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As parents, you should understand it is only with early detection and prompt action that you can get your child\u2019s squinted eyes treated. Timely treatment can also lower the risk of complications like <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/double-vision-diplopia-what-it-means-when-to-see-a-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">double vision<\/a> and amblyopia. Experts opine that the younger the child is, the higher the likelihood of the treatment proving effective. Eye squint is commonly treated with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eyepatch: <\/strong>A patch is put on the healthy eye to cover it. This forces the other (squinted) eye to work better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eye Glasses:<\/strong> If the squint is due to hypermetropia or farsightedness, spectacles are generally used for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eye drops &amp; Eye Exercises:<\/strong> Paediatric eye specialists also use eye drops and exercises to correct squint in kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Injections:<\/strong> When the root cause of strabismus cannot be identified, doctors may use a botulinum toxin injection. Injected into a muscle on the eye surface, it weakens the muscle temporarily. This helps eyes align well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Surgery:<\/strong> When no other treatment proves effective, strabismus surgery is recommended. It can realign your child\u2019s eyes and correct binocular vision. Sometimes, both the eyes have to be operated to achieve the right balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vision_Therapy_for_Squint_Correction\"><\/span>Vision Therapy for Squint Correction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prescription eyeglasses and other above mentioned treatments help effectively cure squint. However, specific eye exercises can also promote coordination between eyes. You can talk to your child\u2019s eye specialist about combining vision therapy with the eye squint treatment &#8211; for enhanced results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mirror_Gaze\"><\/span>Mirror Gaze<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cover your child\u2019s healthy eye. Hold a mirror in front of them. Ask the child to gaze (look) into the mirror straight with their squint eye. Repeat multiple times. Take a short break. Now, tell the child to try looking at the nose-bridge. Mirror gazing, a combination of patching and gazing, helps improve coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finger_Focus\"><\/span>Finger Focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your index finger at an arm\u2019s length from the child\u2019s eyes. Ask them to gently look at your fingertip for 5-10 seconds. Then, slowly move your finger closer to their eyes. Repeat the exercise for 3-4 minutes for better results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pencil_Push-ups\"><\/span>Pencil Push-ups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hold a pencil at an arm\u2019s distance from the child\u2019s eye and a little below their eye level. Slowly move the pencil closer to their eyes. Ask them to focus on the pencil till the image breaks. Repeat the exercise 15-20 times, twice a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brock_String_Workout\"><\/span>Brock String Workout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tie one end of a 10-15 feet long string to an&nbsp; immobile object, say a chair. Place the beads at equal intervals. Hold the string tightly up to the child\u2019s nose. Firstly, the child has to focus on the bead closest to their face. After that, ask them to focus on the other beads, one by one. This exercise also helps improve coordination between eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Palming\"><\/span>Palming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple exercise helps the child&#8217;s eyes relax after performing vision therapy.
