Squint :
Squint, also known as strabismus, is described as misalignment of the eyes where the vision is pointed in two different directions. Squint is categorized into several types, such as infantile esotropia, accommodative esotropia and intermittent exotropia. The presenting complaints of squint are double vision, tilting or turning the head, closing or covering one eye while looking at something nearby, headaches, reading difficulties, eye strain and closing one eye when the person is in a bright light or while looking at objects that are far away. The risk factors associated with this eye problem include uncorrected refractive errors, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, poor vision in one eye, hydrocephalus, brain tumors, neurological problems, stroke, graves' disease and head injuries. The treatment modalities to manage squint include wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses, eye exercises, prism lenses, patching, medications, and by eye muscle surgery, which helps align the eyes correctly and changes the length or position of eye muscles.
