Squint
A squint or strabismus is where the eyes don't point in the same direction.
Usually one eye turns in or out or sometimes up or down. Strabismus can be constant, or only present some of the time and can involve either eye. The type of strabismus can differ greatly between people. The commonest cause of strabismus are due to being long or short sighted or muscle weakness. Strabismus can occur in families or be associated with other illnesses or diseases.
It is important that you or your child is seen by an expert in order to diagnose the type of strabismus and start the correct treatment which may involve glasses, patching, exercises or an operation.
