Squint
Alignment and binocular-vision assessment for children and adults.
Overview
A squint occurs when the eyes do not consistently point in the same direction. Early assessment in children can help identify reduced vision or focusing needs.
Reasons to seek assessment
- Eye turning in or out
- Closing one eye in bright light
- Double vision
- Abnormal head posture
A typical care pathway
- Vision and alignment measurement
- Cycloplegic refraction when appropriate
- Glasses, exercises or surgery discussion
- Age-appropriate monitoring
Before treatment: Your ophthalmologist will confirm the most suitable next step after a complete eye examination.
