Squint Surgery

ESOTROPIA

ACCOMODATIVE ESOTROPIA– usually develops after the age of 6 month. Gets corrected completely by glasses. If the glasses are not worn at early stage, surgery will be required for full correction of esotropia.

NONOACCOMODATIVE ESOTROPIA – usually present at birth & requires operation.

EXOTROPIA

1. This is the most common form of squint. Squint Surgery is the only corrective measure & should be done at earliest.
2. All squint surgeries should be performed below the age of 5 years when brain is developing & binocular vision is developing.
3. When the angle of squint is more than 30 prism dioptres surgery will be required on both the eyes.
4. We have facility for general anaesthesia at our Borivali centre.
