What is the right age for squint surgery in children?

Squint surgery can be performed at almost any age, but earlier correction (often in childhood, even under 2 years for congenital squint) is crucial to develop normal binocular vision and prevent lazy eye (amblyopia).

Can squint be corrected without surgery?

Yes, some types of squint can be corrected using prescription glasses, eye exercises (vision therapy), or special prism lenses. Dr. Ankit Shah will advise surgery only if non-surgical options are insufficient.

Is squint surgery safe? What is the recovery time?

Squint surgery is a highly safe, day-care procedure performed on the eye muscles (not the eyeball itself). Recovery is quick, with children usually returning to normal activities within 3 to 5 days.

Can adults undergo squint correction surgery?

Absolutely. Eyelid or eye alignment surgery for adults can improve binocular vision, peripheral sight, and significantly boost confidence and cosmetic appearance.
