The human eye has six muscles that control eye movement and help the eyes point in a similar direction. Squint eyes or Strabismus can be caused by a number of factors, including problems with the muscles that control eye movement, nerve problems, or certain medical conditions. It can also be present from birth, or develop later in life.
It can cause double vision, difficulty with depth perception, and in some cases, a noticeable cosmetic difference in the appearance of the eyes. Squint correction surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is a surgical procedure used to correct misaligned or crossed eyes. The goal of the surgery is to improve eye alignment and reduce double vision.
Squint eye or crossed eye, also referred to as strabismus is a condition where each eye point in different directions. One eye is in the direction the affected person intends to look, and the other eye could turn out, in, down, or up. Although this condition can occur at any age, it is commonly observed in children. In most cases, this condition self-corrects but has higher risks of recurring. Hence, treatment is generally recommended by a doctor to correct the squint. Squint may lead to vision problems or even vision loss if left untreated.
Squint eyes are categorized by the direction the misaligned eye is pointing. Misaligned eyes can mean:

This surgery is performed under general anesthesia for children under the age of 14 whereas those above 14 years are treated using local anesthesia.
