SQUINT
Medically known as strabismus, squint is a very
common Ophthalmological issue in which the eyes
shows disturbed alignment.The affected eye does
not sync with the focus and turn in either
direction. The squint may show constant or
intermediate effect on gaze.
Why does this happen
The extra ocular muscles of eyes are responsible
for eye movements,  especially the eye ball.
Interruption in working or either the muscles or
the nerve supplying them results in the
misalignment  of gaze. In some cases it may be
due to the underlying neurological problems that
results in incoordination , an injury to cranial
nerve, due to a refractive defect or may  be an
inherited defect. In cases of neurodevelopmental
disorders like hydrocephalus or infections such
as  measles.

The alarming symptoms

1. It can be detected at a young age either since
   birth or in initial 6 months when one eye does
   not look straight to a greater extent, 
2. Cross eye phenomena can be marked in minors when
   they get tired.
3. If child turns head while talking to someone in
   front while another eye is closed, it is an
   alarm. Go, see your doctor.

The squint as already discussed can present in
multiple directions depending upon the cause

• Exotropia This presentation of eye ball can be
  called as divergent squint as the eye ball moves
  outward while focusing over an object.
• Exotropia, In simplified version converging
  squint where eye ball rotates inward while
  focusing straight.
• Hypertrophia  The word hyper itself explains the
  upward rotation of eyeball instead of getting
  fixed in front.
• Hypotropia  Hypo refers to downward rotation of
  eyeball when the brain try to get it straight.

Complications
If untreated it lead to amblyopia, an eye defect
where the  brain avoids the optic signals from
affected eye.
The squint corrected in young age may reappear at
adult hood. 
At times, a squint may worsen to land the brain
to adapt with a double vision.
5
Treatment
Squint used to be considered as a problem that
could  not be cured in older times with
advancements in medical field the treatment is
possible by various approaches.  Being most
effective in younger age groups( less than 7
yrs), patients of all age groups can be treated
for squint.

• Use of spectacles to correct the other optical
  defects such as myopia,hypermetropia thatmay be
  the root cause of squint.
• Postural correction, in case the squint is result
  of compensation to poor posture. 
• Wearing an eye patch covering good eye to let the
  affected eye get aligned in cases of minor
  squint.
• Botox injections to weaken  the tight muscle
  pulling the eyeball causing squint.
• Exercises of ocular muscles to get the eye ball
  in alignment.
• Surgery involving the release of tight extra
  ocular  muscles , correcting the nerve damage ,
  re- imposing the muscle affecting the alignment,
  changing the lens to correct refractive
  disorders. 
• At times both eyes are treated surgically to
  restore the focus of optic pathway.
