Squint
What is Squint treatment?
Squint treatment refers to the medical care used to correct strabismus, a condition where the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. One eye may look straight while the other turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. Treatment options depend on age, severity, and underlying causes, and may include glasses, eye exercises, patching therapy, or surgery. At Lions Eye Hospital, Bangalore, we provide advanced squint treatment to improve eye alignment, restore binocular vision, and enhance visual appearance.
