Strabismus, commonly known as lazy eye or squint, occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned, leading one eye to point in a different direction than the other. This condition can result in double vision, impaired depth perception, and abnormal head posture.

There are three primary types of strabismus: convergent, divergent, and vertical.

Squint surgery, also referred to as strabismus surgery, is a procedure aimed at correcting the misalignment of the eyes. While it is typically performed on children, adults may also undergo this surgery. During the procedure, our skilled surgeons make a small incision in the tissue covering the eye and adjust the eye muscles by either removing or reattaching them.

We use dissolvable stitches to allow for minor adjustments while the patient is awake. The ultimate goal of squint surgery is to enhance three-dimensional vision and eliminate double vision. If you’re considering squint surgery for yourself or your child, Trusfly is here to provide expert care and guidance tailored to your unique needs.
