While one eye may look straight, the other one may look inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards. It happens because eye muscles responsible for controlling movement do not work in unison, leading to improper co-ordination between the eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most patients of strabismus are children, although it can occur at any age. It may be always present or occur intermittently, particularly when the patient is exhausted or trying to focus on a particular task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strabismus or misaligned eyes are not merely an aesthetic concern. It may cause issues with depth perception, and if left untreated, it may also lead to amblyopia or lazy eye (one eye becoming weaker).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Squint_Eye\"><\/span>What is Squint Eye?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Squint refers to an eye condition wherein eyes are not properly aligned. The term \u2018squint\u2019 is widely used in common language, and in clinical terms, the condition is known as \u2018strabismus\u2019. In other words, most people not associated with the medical industry use the term \u2018squint\u2019 for misaligned eyes, while \u2018strabismus\u2019 is preferred by eye doctors for diagnosing and making treatment plans for the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Squint_vs_Strabismus\"><\/span>Squint vs Strabismus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s clear the mist around squint vs strabismus debate. Both refer to the same condition &#8211; misaligned eyes. It is just that eye specialists use the medical term, strabismus, while common people tend to call it squint. That\u2019s the reason, the terms are frequently used interchangeably.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, people would generally say that somebody \u2018has a squint\u2019 instead of using the medical term \u2018strabismus\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Squints\"><\/span>Types of Squints<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the cause or the way the eye turns, squint can be of different types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Esotropia:<\/strong> inwards turning eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exotropia:<\/strong> outwards turning eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hypertropia:<\/strong> upwards turning eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hypotropia:<\/strong> downwards turning eye<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While these terms may not be of much essence to ordinary people, they are generally used in clinical settings by ophthalmologists. Hence, squint and strabismus essentially differ in terminology and context. For formal diagnosis, doctors use \u2018strabismus\u2019, while \u2018squint\u2019 is the term the general population is familiar with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What matters is that appropriate treatment can help manage \u2018squint\u2019 and \u2018strabismus\u2019 to restore proper eye alignment in patients, and along with it vision quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_Strabismus_or_Squint_Eye_Problem\"><\/span>Causes of Strabismus or Squint Eye Problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An individual gets \u2018strabismus\u2019 when eye muscles fail to work in tandem, resulting in one eye drifting to a different direction. Common reasons behind squint eye are &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Problem with nerves that control the eye muscles\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Issues with brain\u2019s control centres responsible for eye movement\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family history (genetics)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Congenital (a newborn has squint at birth)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neurological issues like Down syndrome and cerebral palsy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brain injury<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One eye having superior vision than the other, leading to an imbalance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In common parlance, squint means any visible misalignment of the eyes, and the causes are very much similar to those of strabismus. At times, a child has much weaker vision in one eye, which makes the brain ignore visual inputs from that eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from that, prolonged screen use or reading in dim light may increase eye strain and lead to occasional squints, or worsen a pre-existing squint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is crucial to identify <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/squint-in-kids-signs-diagnosis-how-its-treated\/\">early signs of squint in children<\/a> as well as adults. Proper medical checkup can help detect the underlying cause and devise an effective treatment plan. Early medical intervention can improve eye alignment and prevent complications like vision loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_for_Strabismus_and_Squint\"><\/span>Treatment for Strabismus and Squint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment for squint and strabismus aims to improve visual coordination by improving eye alignment.
