Introduction
Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes or squint, is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned and do not work together properly.
It can appear in infancy, childhood, or adulthood and may lead to double vision, reduced depth perception, eye strain, social discomfort, and in children, amblyopia (lazy eye).
Strabismus correction aims to realign the eyes, restore binocular vision where possible, and improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes.
