What is Squint?

The condition of squint commonly occurs in children but may also occur in adults. Squint is a condition when the alignment of eyes is not the same so that both the eyes are looking in the different directions. The condition of misalignment can be constant throughout the day or may appear sometimes and rest of the time eyes may be straight and looking in the same direction. Squint

Cause of Squint:

The alignment and the movement of each eye is controlled by the six muscles, each of which acts along with its counterpart in other eye to keep both the eyes in same alignment and movement.

A loss of coordination between the counterpart muscles of the eyes may results in the misalignment of eyes. This difference in the alignment may be same in all directions of the gaze or sometimes may be more in one direction.

There may be another cause of misalignment which is a refractive error called hypermetropia. Hypermetropia may result in the inward deviation of eye. Cataract may also be a reason for eye to deviate. Surgery

Although the exact cause of squint is unknown.

Problems with squint

If a person or a child is affected with squint and both the eyes are not aligned in the same direction then each eye focuses on two different objects and sends different signals to the brain. The two different signals sent to the brain leads in the confusion, thus a child would ignore one image which is coming from the deviated eye and in this process he/she may looses the depth precision and may result in the poor development of the vision in the deviated eye.

In case of an adult, he/she can not ignore from any of the eyes and therefore results in double vision. This situation can be very troublesome and may also affect the everyday work.

Symptoms of Squint

The only symptom of squint is noticing the misalignment of eyes, in general a newly born child rarely have both the eyes aligned in the same direction but if the eyes are still misaligned after 3-4 weeks of birth then the situation must be taken seriously and an ophthalmologist should be contacted for evaluation.
