Strabismus (crossed eyes) or squint is a condition in which both the eyes do not line up with one another. In other words, both eyes are turned in different directions.
It is caused by abnormalities in the neuromuscular control of eye movement, although (less commonly) the cause may be disorder of the external ocular muscles. As a result, the retinal image is not perceived in corresponding areas of both eyes. Most squints are seen in young children. Sometimes squints can develop in older kids or even in adults.
There are different types of squint, depending upon the direction of the eye turning. If the eye turns inwards (towards the nose), it is called Esotropia, outwards (away from the nose), it is known as Exotropia. And when it turns upwards, it’s calledHypertropia or downwards is called Hypotropia.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Symptoms” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23d71249|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1639736845026{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#eea616″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Eye not straight” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5288″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Headaches” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5180″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Eyestrain” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5179″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Fatigue when reading” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5197″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Jittery vision” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”4699″ img_size=”thumbnail” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Diagnosis” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23d71249|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1639736873555{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#eea616″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”4700″ img_size=”medium”][vntd_content_box title=”Retina examination” btn_label=”” link_type=”external” img_size=”custom” caption_style=”boxed_no_border” title_tag=”h6″ image_hover_effect=”none” text=”A thorough retina checkup involves a series of tests to evaluate your vision and eye health which helps to deduct strabismus.”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5313″ img_size=”medium”][vntd_content_box title=”Cover Test” btn_label=”” link_type=”external” img_size=”custom” caption_style=”boxed_no_border” title_tag=”h6″ image_hover_effect=”none” text=”The cover test is used to determine if a heterotropia (i.e. manifest strabismus) is present.”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5317″ img_size=”medium”][vntd_content_box img=”5314″ title=”The Hirschberg test” btn_label=”” link_type=”external” img_size=”custom” caption_style=”boxed_no_border” title_tag=”h6″ image_hover_effect=”none” text=”The Hirschberg test is used to assess whether the patient has strabismus and is mostly used on kids / infants.”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Treatments” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23d71249|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1640842193030{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#eea616″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” font_size=”medium” css=”.vc_custom_1640842201309{margin-top: -10px !important;}”]Prompt treatment reduces the risk of condition called as amblyopia or lazy eye.
