Understanding Squint –
Causes & Symptoms
What is Squint (Strabismus)?
Squint is a condition where one eye appears to look straight while the other may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. It can be present from childhood or develop later due to nerve damage, muscle imbalance, or other medical issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications like lazy eye (amblyopia) and to support proper vision development.
Common Causes of Squint:
- Congenital (Birth Defect) – Some children are born with squint due to improper eye muscle development.
- Refractive Errors – Uncorrected vision problems (like farsightedness) can lead to squint.
- Nerve Damage – Injury or certain medical conditions can disrupt eye muscle control.
- Eye Muscle Imbalance – Weak or overactive muscles can cause misalignment.
- Genetic Factors – Squint may run in families.
- Medical Conditions – Stroke, diabetes, or neurological disorders can contribute to squint development in adults.
Symptoms of Squint:
• Eyes looking in different directions
• Double vision or blurred vision
• Tilting the head to see clearly
• Eye strain & headaches
• Reduced depth perception
• Frequent squinting or closing one eye
Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and restore clear, comfortable vision.
