Can squint be corrected without surgery?
2 months ago
I’ve read about non-surgical treatments like eye exercises or glasses for squint. Can surgery be avoided in mild cases, or is it usually the only permanent solution? How do doctors decide between observation, therapy, or operation?

Not all squints require surgery. In some cases, glasses, patching, or eye exercises are enough to control the misalignment, especially in mild or accommodative squints. Doctors usually recommend surgery if the squint is large, persistent, or causing problems with vision development or self-esteem. The decision is made after checking how well the eyes work together and how much the squint affects daily life. Surgery is usually considered the most lasting solution when non-surgical options are not effective.
