Squint & amblyopia care
What is Squint & Amblyopia?
Squint, also called strabismus, is when the eyes do not align and look in different directions. Amblyopia, often called lazy eye, develops when vision in one eye does not mature clearly.
Early assessment is especially important for children. Timely care can support eye alignment, visual development and everyday confidence.

Helpful guidance about squint checks, lazy eye, treatment options and what to expect from your child's visit.
A squint, also called strabismus, is when the eyes do not line up and look in different directions. It can be constant or come and go, and can affect children and adults.
Amblyopia develops when vision in one eye does not mature clearly, often because the brain favours the other eye. It is most treatable when found early in childhood.
Squints do not usually resolve on their own. An early examination is important, so any vision problem can be identified and treated while the visual system is still developing.
Treatment depends on the type of squint and the child's vision. Options can include glasses, patching or other lazy-eye therapy and, when needed, surgery. Your specialist will explain the best option after examination.
Squint surgery is a commonly performed procedure done under appropriate anaesthesia. Your surgeon will explain the benefits and risks for your child's case before any decision is made.
Yes. Adults with a squint can be assessed, and treatment options such as glasses, prisms or surgery may be considered depending on the cause and your eye health.
