About Squint Surgery
Squint (medically known as strabismus) is a condition where both eyes do not align in the same direction. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other remains focused. At Paras Hospital, Kanpur, we offer comprehensive squint evaluation, non-surgical therapies, and surgical correction, depending on the type, cause, and severity. Our goal is to restore proper eye alignment, improve binocular vision, and boost patient confidence.

What is Squint Surgery?
Squint surgery is a procedure performed to realign the eye muscles responsible for eye movement and coordination. It involves tightening or repositioning the eye muscles to correct eye deviation. The surgery is safe, commonly performed under general anesthesia in children and local anesthesia in adults, with excellent outcomes and cosmetic improvement.
Common Causes of Squint:
-
Congenital squint (present at birth)
-
Refractive errors (especially untreated hyperopia)
-
Neurological or muscle disorders
-
Injury or trauma to the eye
-
Poor vision in one eye (amblyopia)
-
Genetics or family history of strabismus
Squint Correction Options at Paras Hospital, Kanpur
Our eye specialists offer both non-surgical and surgical options for treating squint based on age, type, and underlying cause:
Squint Eye Surgery (Strabismus Surgery)
Performed by our expert squint surgeons, this procedure involves adjusting the eye muscles to achieve proper alignment. It is often done under general anesthesia and typically requires no overnight hospital stay.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Includes prescription glasses, patching (for lazy eye), vision therapy, and orthoptic exercises. These are especially effective in early or mild squint cases.
Pediatric Squint Management
Specialized pediatric ophthalmologists at Paras Hospital handle congenital and childhood squint cases with utmost care. Early intervention can prevent long-term vision loss.
Adjustable Suture Technique
In select adult patients, adjustable sutures allow fine-tuning of alignment post-surgery for optimal results.
