Align Your Vision and Restore Your Confidence at Eye Sight Centre.

A squint, or Strabismus, is more than just a cosmetic concern; it’s a functional vision issue where the eyes do not align properly. Whether you are seeking treatment for a child or yourself, Eye Sight Centre, Varanasi offers advanced surgical and non-surgical solutions under the expert supervision of Dr. Richa Srivastava (MBBS, MS Ophthalmology).

What is Squint (Strabismus)?

Squint occurs when the six muscles that control eye movement do not work together in harmony. This results in one eye looking straight ahead while the other turns:

• Inward (Esotropia)
• Outward (Exotropia)
• Upward (Hypertropia)
• Downward (Hypotropia)

Why Squint Correction is Crucial

If left untreated, a squint can lead to Amblyopia (Lazy Eye), loss of 3D depth perception (stereopsis), and significant self-consciousness. In adults, it can cause persistent double vision and eye strain.

Treatment Pathways at Eye Sight Centre

Most people assume surgery is the only option, but Dr. Srivastava evaluates every case for the most effective, least invasive path.

The Squint Surgery Journey

Squint surgery is a "day-care" procedure involving the weakening or strengthening of the extraocular muscles.

1 Comprehensive Muscle Mapping

Pre-Op Evaluation

Using specialized prisms, Dr. Srivastava measures the exact angle of the squint in all directions of gaze to plan the surgery.

2 The Procedure

Muscle Adjustment

The surgeon makes a small incision in the conjunctiva (the clear tissue over the white of the eye) to reach the muscle. No skin incisions are made, meaning no visible scars.

3 Alignment Fine-Tuning

Adjustable Sutures

In certain adult cases, "adjustable sutures" are used, allowing the surgeon to fine-tune the eye position shortly after the procedure for perfect alignment.

4 Rapid Recovery

Post-Op Care

The eye may be red for 1-2 weeks, but most patients return to school or light work within 3–5 days.
