What is a Squint and How is it Treated?
A squint occurs when both eyes do not align in the same direction simultaneously. One eye may turn inward (cross-eyed), outward, upward, or downward while the other focuses straight ahead.
At Eyevista, early intervention with precision optical correction, specialized prism therapy, and advanced daycare muscle realignment surgery restores binocular 3D vision and stereo-acuity.
What is a Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)?
Amblyopia occurs when the brain favors visual signals from one eye, leading to suppressed neural development in the other eye even when wearing corrective glasses.
We utilize evidence-based occlusion (patching) regimens, active dichoptic computer therapy, and neuro-visual stimulation to restore sharp visual acuity before visual pathway maturity.
How to Control Myopia in Children?
Childhood myopia (rapidly increasing minus numbers) is an escalating public health concern driven by excessive near-screen work and reduced outdoor sunlight exposure.
Our Pediatric Myopia Management Program incorporates low-dose atropine eye drops, specialized peripheral defocus spectacle lenses, and tailored outdoor lifestyle protocols to halt axial elongation.
