Squint eye is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned and do not look in the same direction at the same time. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other focuses straight.
If left untreated, squint can affect:
- Vision development
- Depth perception
- Self-confidence (especially in children and adults)
1. Esotropia
- One eye turns inward toward the nose
2. Exotropia
3. Hypertropia
