At Borde Clinic, we prioritize your eye health. Let’s delve into Squint, a condition that can affect both children and adults and explore how our expert, Dr. Nishita Beke-Borde, can help.

What is Squint?

Squint, also known as “Strabismus,” occurs when the eyes do not align properly. In simpler terms, one eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards while the other remains straight. This misalignment can be constant or intermittent.

Causes: Squint can develop due to various factors, including:

  • Muscle Imbalance: Problems with eye muscles can lead to misalignment.
  • Refractive Errors: Uncorrected farsightedness or nearsightedness can contribute.
  • Neurological Issues: Conditions affecting the brain or nerves controlling eye movement.
  • Genetics: A family history of squint can increase the risk.

Impact on Vision: Squint can affect vision, depth perception, and lead to “lazy eye” (amblyopia) if not treated promptly. It can also impact self-esteem, particularly in children.

Diagnosis: Dr. Nishita Beke-Borde employs comprehensive eye exams and specialized tests to diagnose squint accurately. Early detection is crucial for effective management.

Treatment Options:

  • Glasses: Correcting refractive errors can alleviate squint in some cases.
  • Eye Exercises: Vision therapy and eye exercises may help improve eye alignment.
  • Orthoptic Treatment: Targeted exercises to strengthen eye muscles.
  • Prism Lenses: Special lenses can be prescribed to align images correctly.
  • Botulinum Toxin (Botox): In some cases, Botox injections can help relax specific eye muscles.
  • Surgery: Surgical correction may be required for more severe cases. Dr. Nishita Beke-Borde specializes in squint surgery and ensures the best possible outcomes.
