Squint surgery, or strabismus surgery, corrects misaligned eyes (squint or crossed eyes) caused by imbalanced eye muscles. The goal is to improve eye alignment for better focus, potentially eliminating double vision and enhancing cosmetic appearance. In children, early surgery can also prevent lazy eye and improve binocular vision.

Surgery is considered when non-surgical methods like glasses or exercises are insufficient. The ophthalmologist evaluates the squint type, severity, patient age, impact on vision, cosmetic concerns, and response to prior treatments.

The procedure involves small incisions in the conjunctiva to access eye muscles. The surgeon weakens or strengthens specific muscles by detaching and reattaching them in a new position (recession or resection). Adjustable sutures might be used for fine-tuning post-operatively. It's usually an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia for children and local with sedation for adults. The eye is not removed.

Post-operative recovery takes a few weeks, involving redness, swelling, mild discomfort managed with pain relievers, and temporary blurred or double vision. Prescribed eye drops are crucial. Rubbing the eyes and strenuous activities should be avoided. Follow-up appointments are essential. While generally safe, risks include over or under-correction requiring further treatment, double vision, infection, and rare complications. Success rates for improved alignment are high, but the degree of correction varies, and multiple surgeries may be needed. Long-term stability depends on the individual. Squint surgery can significantly improve vision, comfort, and self-confidence for those with misaligned eyes. Discussing the procedure and potential outcomes with your ophthalmologist is vital.
