Squint Reduction

Squint, also known as strabismus, is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. This can cause issues with depth perception, eye strain, and self-consciousness. Squint reduction surgery is a procedure that aims to realign the eyes to improve both cosmetic appearance and vision.

During squint reduction surgery, the surgeon will make an incision in the eye muscles and reposition them to align the eyes properly. In some cases, a small amount of tissue may be removed or added to the eye muscles to achieve the desired alignment. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and patients can usually go home the same day.

After the surgery, patients may experience some discomfort and redness in the eyes, but this typically resolves within a few days. It is important to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and good results. Squint reduction surgery can greatly improve a patient's quality of life, both functionally and cosmetically.
