What Is Squint?
A squint, also known as strabismus, is an eye condition in which the eyes do not align in the same direction. It can affect children and adults and may involve one eye or alternate between both eyes. Depending on the type of squint, an eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward.
The appropriate treatment depends on the cause and type of eye misalignment. At Spectra Eye, patients can consult an eye specialist in Mauritius for an assessment and guidance on suitable squint eye treatment options.
Symptoms Of Squint
One of the most noticeable symptoms of squint is the misalignment of the eyes, where they appear to point in different directions. Other signs and symptoms may include:
- One or both eyes appearing to look in different directions.
- An eye turning inward, outward, upward, or downward.
- Difficulty with eye coordination or focusing.
- Double vision in some cases.
Children with a squint may also be at risk of developing amblyopia (lazy eye), which can affect vision if not appropriately assessed and treated.

Squint Eye Treatment Option
Squint does not correct on its own. For squint correction, we take a whole-person strategy. Based on a comprehensive evaluation by our Squint specialist in Mauritius, a treatment plan is created. It's usually done in steps that include:-
Orthoptic Exercises
Orthoptic exercises, a squint eye treatment option, involve special eye exercises to strengthen eye muscles and improve alignment. These exercises can be beneficial, especially for children with squint.
Occlusion Therapy
Patching therapy (occlusion therapy) can be done in children under 10 years of age if the child has amblyopia (lazy eye) leading to squint
Spectacles
If the squint is caused by an issue with how your eyes bend light (refractive error), the doctor may give you glasses to help fix it. They might also suggest prisms, especially for people with a paralyzed eye muscle condition, to reduce double vision. This is considered if the misalignment of the eyes is only a little bit.
Surgical Procedure
Misaligned eyes can be straightened by squint surgery in Mauritius.(The mainstay of treatment in adults). During the squint surgery, eye muscles are adjusted to align the eyes properly, improving vision and appearance.
