Description of Squint Surgery:
What is Squint Surgery?
Squint surgery is eye muscle repair surgery carried out to correct a squint in the eye, a condition otherwise known as strabismus, cross-eye or lazy-eye. In some cases, strabismus can only be effectively treated with surgery.
Squint surgery aims to eliminate double vision, improve three-dimensional vision and improve the abnormal posture of the head. Squint surgery is usually carried out on children but may be done on adults.

How is Squint Surgery carried out?
- During squint surgery the surgeon makes a fine cut in the tissue covering the eye and locates the eye muscles needing correction.
- The surgeon strengthens and weakens the muscles in the eye by removing muscle or tendon and reattaching muscle further back in the eye.
- Dissolvable stitches are used so that minor adjustments to the squint surgery can be carried out when the patient is fully awake.
