Aligning Your Vision For A Brighter Future

At Trivision Eye Hospital, we understand that proper alignment of your eyes is essential for clear and comfortable vision. Our dedicated team of specialists is committed to providing expert care for squint, also known as strabismus, to help you achieve harmonious eye alignment and restore your confidence in how you see the world.

Understanding Squint (Strabismus)

Squint is a condition in which the eyes do not align properly and do not work together as a team. This misalignment can result in one eye turning inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye remains focused. Our experienced team in Bandra specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of squint to optimize your visual comfort and clarity.

Personalized Treatment Approaches

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the type and severity of your squint. We offer a range of effective treatments to address misalignment:

Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses

In many cases, prescription eyewear can correct squint, especially if it’s caused by uncorrected refractive errors (like farsightedness).

Orthoptic Exercises

Specialized eye exercises, or "vision therapy," can improve eye coordination and strengthen eye muscles, helping to align the eyes.

Prism Glasses

These are special lenses that can be added to glasses to bend light, helping to shift the image seen by the deviating eye and reduce or eliminate double vision.

BOTOX® Injections

In some specific cases, BOTOX® injections can be used to temporarily relax certain overactive eye muscles, helping to align the eyes.

Strabismus Surgery

Surgical correction is often recommended for more significant or persistent cases. Our skilled surgeons carefully adjust the eye muscles to achieve proper alignment and restore binocular vision.

Compassionate Care for Adults & Children

We understand the functional and emotional impact of squint at all ages. Our team provides not only expert treatment but also the compassionate support you need throughout your journey. Our goal is to restore visual harmony, enabling both eyes to work together effectively and boosting self-assurance.

Your Squint (Strabismus) Questions Answered

Squint, or strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are misaligned and do not work together. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye looks straight. This can affect vision and depth perception.

Squint can be caused by several factors. In children, it's often due to an uncorrected refractive error (like farsightedness) or a problem with the eye muscles. In adults, it can be caused by nerve issues, previous eye injury, or other medical conditions like thyroid disease or diabetes. Sometimes, it's a childhood squint that worsens over time.

Treatment is personalized. It can include:

  • Eyeglasses or Prisms: To correct refractive errors that cause the misalignment.
  • Orthoptic Exercises: Vision therapy to strengthen eye coordination.
  • BOTOX® Injections: To relax overactive eye muscles in specific cases.
  • Strabismus Surgery: A common and safe procedure to adjust the eye muscles and straighten the eyes.

Yes, absolutely. It is a misconception that squint can only be treated in children. Adults can be treated at any age to improve eye alignment, reduce double vision, and improve cosmetic appearance. At our Bandra clinic, we treat many adult patients for squint.

Yes, strabismus surgery is a very common and safe procedure. It is performed by our specialist surgeons to physically adjust the muscles on the outside of the eye to pull it into the correct position. Most patients go home the same day.
