Squint Surgery

Specialized Procedure: Squint surgery, also known as strabismus surgery, is a specialized procedure aimed at correcting misalignment of the eyes, known as strabismus. This condition occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned and do not work together as a team, leading to issues with depth perception and visual clarity.

Procedure Overview: The primary goal of squint surgery is to realign the muscles that control eye movement, allowing the eyes to work together effectively. During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the tissue surrounding the eye and adjusts the tension of the eye muscles to achieve the desired alignment. This may involve strengthening or weakening specific muscles to ensure proper balance and coordination between the eyes.

Recovery and Benefits: Squint surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and most patients can return home the same day. Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery but generally involves mild discomfort and temporary swelling or bruising around the eyes. For many patients, squint surgery can significantly improve eye alignment and function, leading to enhanced visual clarity, improved depth perception, and increased confidence in social and professional settings.

Long-Term Impact: Additionally, correcting strabismus early in life can help prevent long-term complications such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and associated vision loss.

In conclusion, squint surgery is a transformative procedure that offers hope and improved quality of life for individuals with strabismus. By realigning the eyes and restoring proper coordination, squint surgery can enhance visual function, boost self-confidence, and pave the way for a brighter future filled with aligned vision and endless possibilities.
