What are the non-surgical treatment options for squint eyes?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old. I am suffering from a squint eye. Can I have any solution for this problem without surgery?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the query. I can tell you the options available to you. It mainly depends on the type of squint and your eye function. Is the squint involved in one eye or both? How do you see with the squinting eye? When you have double vision, how do you see? In case, if you see well, you are eligible for prisms. These are particular types of lenses which are embedded into glasses. They can be used, but this needs training to the people for straightening their eyes. In some instances, they produce useful singular vision. In case, if you are ineligible for prisms, you have to go for surgery. As soon as the surgery is done, the results will be better.
