How squint affects children?

• Squint in children usually means that both eyes
  cant align, or turn in or out. Children with
  strabismus may also experience either constant or
  intermittent eye turn. Additionally, children
  also experience a lazy eye, more properly known
  as amblyopia. This term means that the vision in
  one eye is significantly poorer than the other.

  glasses for a child with a squint. Occlusion
  therapy, which requires an eye patch to be worn,

• Squint means eyes point in different directions,
  turn in or out, or are uncoordinated.
• Adults can suffer from squint (known as
  strabismus) for a number of reasons. It can be
  the return of a condition that was corrected in
  childhood.
• It can also occur as a result of stroke or
  injury, diabetes, or a tumor.
• Thyroid dysfunction can also cause squint in
  adults. Age can also be a cause, as the muscles
  controlling the eyes movements deteriorate.

What treatment is available?

• Squint can impact both your appearance and the
  quality of your vision. The appearance of the
  eyes can make some people feel uncomfortable or
  self-conscious. In addition, it can lead to
  double vision and other sight problems.
• There are a number of possible solutions that
  your ophthalmologist in Adelaide may suggest.
  These include prescribing glasses with prisms,
  eye muscle exercises or eye surgery.
