Restoring Aligned Vision: Squint Eye Surgery in Mumbai

A squint, also known as strabismus, is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. This misalignment can cause double vision, poor depth perception, and if left untreated, permanent vision loss.

At Raghunath Netralaya in Mumbai, our team of squint specialists is dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment solutions, including squint eye surgery, to help restore proper eye alignment and preserve your vision.

What Is a Squint and What Causes It?

A squint occurs when the muscles that control eye movement are imbalanced or weakened, causing one or both eyes to turn inward (crossed eyes), outward (wall-eyed), or vertically misaligned. This misalignment can occur from birth or later in life (acquired squint). Common causes of squint include:

• Muscle imbalance or weakness
• Neurological disorders
• Trauma or injury to the eye muscles
• Certain medical conditions (e.g., stroke, thyroid disorders)

Early detection and treatment are crucial, as untreated squints can lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) and permanent vision problems.

What Are the Symptoms of a Squint?

The primary symptom of a squint is misaligned eyes, where one or both eyes may turn inward, outward, or upward/downward. Other symptoms may include:

• Double vision
• Eye strain or fatigue
• Headaches
• Poor depth perception
• Reduced peripheral vision

How Is a Squint Diagnosed and Treated?

At Raghunath Netralaya, our squint specialists use advanced diagnostic techniques, including comprehensive eye examinations, visual acuity tests, and imaging studies, to accurately assess the type and severity of the squint. Treatment options may include:

• Glasses or eye patches (for intermittent or mild squints)
• Vision therapy and eye exercises
• Botulinum toxin injections (to temporarily weaken overactive muscles)
• Squint eye surgery (to realign the eye muscles)

What Is Squint Eye Surgery?

Squint eye surgery, or strabismus surgery, is done to realign the eyes by adjusting the length or position of the eye muscles responsible for eye movement. The surgery aims to restore proper eye alignment, improving binocular vision, depth perception, and overall visual function.

At Raghunath Netralaya, our experienced squint specialists perform various types of squint eye surgeries, including:

• Muscle repositioning (resecting or recessing the eye muscles)
• Muscle reattachment (adjusting the insertion point of the muscle)
• Muscle weakening or strengthening procedures

The surgical technique often depends upon the type and severity of the squint, the patient's age, and overall eye health.
