  1. What are the potential complications of untreated squint?

  2. Untreated squint, also known as strabismus, can result in a variety of issues that impair eyesight and quality of life. Among the most noteworthy complications are: Amblyopia (lazy eye): When one eye repeatedly rotates away from the thing being focused on, the brain may begin to favor the other eye, resulting in decreased vision in the turned eye. Diplopia, or double vision: When the eyes are not aligned properly, multiple images can be seen. This can be confusing and impair depth perception, making it challenging to read and drive.

  3. Impaired depth perception: Accurate distance measurement in the brain is dependent on information from both eyes. Squinting can cause poor depth perception due to the disparity in images from each eye, which can affect activities like driving and sports. Social and psychological impact: Because of its obvious look, strabismus may lead to social anxiety, low self-esteem, and self-consciousness. Both general well-being and interpersonal relationships may be impacted by this. Loss of binocular vision: A broader range of vision and the ability to perceive depth are made possible by binocular vision, which requires proper eye alignment. This skill can be lost if squint is left untreated.

  4. All things considered, squint therapy and early detection are essential to avoiding these consequences, maintaining the ideal visual function, and preserving the quality of life. It is advised to have regular eye exams, particularly for children, in order to identify and treat squints early on. See the future of eye care at Smart Vision Eye Hospital.
