Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is a procedure designed to correct the alignment of the eyes. Strabismus, commonly referred to as a squint, occurs when the eyes do not point in the same direction. This can affect both children and adults, leading to issues with vision, depth perception, and even self-esteem. Squint surgery aims to adjust the muscles around the eyes to improve alignment and functionality. Established consultant ophthalmologist Mr Syed Shahid answers commonly asked questions about the procedure.
