When squint is present, will the eyes always look misaligned?

0

Squints can be constant, present all the time, they can be intermittent and occur in certain situations, like when the child is reading, tired or when he is looking in the distance. What are the effects of crossed-eyes? Children with crossed eyes may initially have double vision. When a squint is constant, three things can occur. 1) Amblyopia or Lazy Eye: When a child has a constant squint, he does not use the squinting eye to see and this will result in that eye having poor vision. 2) Poor Binocular Vision: The ability to appreciate depth or stereovision requires both eyes to be aligned so that they can be used as a pair. A child with a constant squint has no binocular or stereovision. 3) Abnormal Head Position: Some children adopt an abnormal head position like a tilt or face turn when they have a squint to try to keep both eyes aligned. What treatment is available for squint? Some squints can be caused by uncorrected long-sightedness (hyperopia) or shortsightedness (myopia). Glasses
