What is Squint?

Squint, or strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions—one eye may look straight while the other turns inward, outward, upward, or downward. It can be constant or appear only occasionally. If untreated, squint can lead to double vision, poor depth perception, or amblyopia (lazy eye). With early detection, it is highly treatable through glasses, therapy, or surgery.
