  1. Basics & Classification Mahbuba Khondaker PGDO Intern, School of Optometry Aravind Eye Hospital

  2. Introduction • Misalignment of eye visual axis • Its may congenital or acquired • It may also related with any other syndrome • In some cases it is hereditary • Is a condition which can be unilateral or bi lateral. • It is a common condition among children. • It may also occur in adults.

  3. Squint: Definition • Squint is a misalignment of the two eyes so that both the eyes are not looking in the same direction in same object. • The misalignment can be- • Constant • Intermittent

  4. Causes for squint: • Birth injuries. • Hereditary. • Loss of coordination between the muscles of the two eyes • Need for glasses • Certain eye diseases interfering vision of one eye (e.g: unilateral cataract • Illness - can make it obvious • Fatigue, stress or extended work load

  5. Extra Ocular Muscles of Eye Total 6 (4-rectus , 2- Oblique ) Musclesfunctions in particular gazes are- • Medial rectus (MR): moves the eye toward the nose (Adduction) • Lateral rectus (LR): moves the eye away from the nose (Abduction) • Superior rectus (SR): primarily moves the eye upward and secondarily rotates the top of the eye toward the nose (Elevation, Abduction, Intortion) • Inferior rectus (IR): moves the eye downward & secondarily rotates the top of the eye away from the nose (Depression, abduction, Extortion) • Superior oblique (SO): primarily rotates the top of the eye toward the nose & secondarily moves the eye downward (Adduction and depression) • Inferior oblique (IO): primarily rotates the top of the eye away from the nose secondarily moves the eye upward (Abduction and elevation)

  6. Extra Ocular Muscles of Eye

  7. Squint Classification • According to direction of deviation • According to amount of deviation in different gazes

  8. Squint Classification

  9. Types of Squint and Definiton • A pseudosquint mimics a squint. It is caused by prominent epicanthic folds causing one eye to appear to be looking in. • Esotropia (not to be confused with entropion) is a convergent squint, in which one eye is turned inward. • Exotropia (not to be confused with ectropion) is a divergent squint, in which one eye is turned outward.

  10. Treatment • Goals of treatment: Development of normal vision in both eyes.   • Straighten the eyes. • To make both eyes work together • Treatment : • Glasses/ Spectacles: • Some type of squint are corrected by glass (e.g accommodative esotropia) • Patching of the lazy eye: Stimulate bad eye to see more and improve vision. • Surgery : Squint correction

  11. Types: Squint Correction Surgery • Resection • Recession
