Understanding Squint:
Squint, or strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. This misalignment can be constant or intermittent and may affect one or both eyes. It can lead to double vision, reduced depth perception, and cosmetic concerns. Squint can occur in children and adults and requires timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications and improve quality of life.
Diagnostic Services:
At Navjeevan Hospital, we utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to assess squint and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Our comprehensive eye examinations include:
- Visual Acuity Testing: Evaluating how well each eye can see.
- Ocular Alignment Assessment: Checking for misalignment in eye movements.
- Refraction Testing: Determining the need for corrective lenses.
- Orthoptic Evaluation: Assessing eye coordination and muscle balance.
- Specialized Tests: Utilizing tools like prism tests and stereoacuity tests for detailed analysis.
Medical Management:
Depending on the type and severity of squint, our medical management strategies may include:
- Prescription Glasses: Correcting refractive errors to improve vision and alignment.
- Eye Patching: Temporarily covering one eye to encourage the use of the weaker eye (amblyopia treatment).
- Orthoptic Exercises: Eye exercises to improve muscle coordination and control.
- Botulinum Toxin Injections: For specific types of squint to relax overactive eye muscles.
- Vision Therapy: Customized programs to enhance visual skills and binocular vision.
Surgical Intervention:
When conservative measures are insufficient, surgical correction may be recommended. Our skilled ophthalmic surgeons perform a range of squint surgeries, including:
- Adjustable Suture Surgery: Fine-tuning muscle adjustments during surgery for precise alignment.
