Squint, or strabismus, affects more than just how your eyes look — it can impact vision, depth perception, and confidence. We offer specialist-led care for both children and adults using surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
Squint occurs when the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. It can be constant or intermittent and affect one or both eyes. In children, early treatment is key to prevent long-term vision loss (amblyopia). In adults, squint can cause double vision or social discomfort.
You may notice the following symptoms:
Conditions treated include:

You feel self-conscious about the appearance of a squint
You have reduced depth perception or difficulties with certain visual tasks
You want to explore treatment options to improve eye alignment and visual function
Depending on the type and severity of the squint, we offer:
Exercises and activities to strengthen binocular vision, mostly used in children
