Early detection holds the key. Squints generally occur in childhood or at birth but it can develop at any age. So a child’s regular ophthalmic screening of eye is a must, where adults could consult an ophthalmologist on a need basis. Early treatment before your child reaches the age of one is possible and medically safe.

If you notice, any symptoms like unusual eye turn, Crossed eyes, deviating eye, wall-eyes, wandering eyes, promptly consult KIDS EYE CONSULT. You need expert eye specialist supported by modern computer-aided machines to diagnose all kinds of squints; we have them entirely at your service. Sometimes what appears to be squint could be a Pseudo squint or an asymmetry of facial features. This can alone be detected by a specialist ophthalmologist that we have at our eye care centre.

Right diagnosis by the Right Specialist leads to Correct and best Treatment. Remember, besides the medical abnormality, Squints also have possible psychological effects on a child’s mind & emotions. Hence the treatment goes beyond the medical needs. The good news is that we cover it fully at Kids eye Consult.

Treatment: Squints are of various types. Each type has its different causes, symptoms, presentations and appropriate treatment plan. Also, not all cases of Squint or Tropia require surgery. Often a simple prescribed glass or doing a specific set of regular eye exercises can prove quite useful. In both cases though, only a qualified, experienced eye specialist should be consulted.
