The exact cause of a squint or strabismus is not fully understood. Six eye muscles controlling eye movement are attached to the outside of each eye. In each eye, two muscles move the eye right or left. The other four muscles move it up or down and at an angle. To line up and focus both eyes on a single target, all of the muscles in each eye must be balanced and working together. In order for the eyes to move together, the muscles in both eyes must be coordinated. And when there is a misalignment, squint arises. The hospital has synoptophore and other necessary equipment to measure the degree of the squint. In the first stage, treatment is done by eye exercises and corrective lenses and if the situation warrants, operation is undertaken to correct the squint.
