Squint eye surgery in Indore is a well established way to realign the eyes in patients whose eye misalignment does not respond adequately to glasses, patching or vision therapy. In Indore, Dr. Birendra Jha is a trained squint surgeon in dedicated pediatric ophthalmology. Strabismus surgery is performed for children as well as adults, and the surgical plan is prepared as per the specific pattern and cause of the deviation.

What is Squint Surgery?

Squint Surgery This operation corrects strabismus (squint) where the eyes are not working or aligned properly . This misalignment can cause double vision, headaches and difficulty focusing. Squint surgery is designed to realign the eyes so they can work together more effectively. What the procedure does is it puts small stitches on the eye muscles that can be used to change the position of the eye muscles. The surgeon may either weaken or strengthen the muscles depending on the condition of the person. Squint surgery is normally done as a day case so the patient can go home the same day. The recovery time is usually short, and most people can return to normal activity within a few days. If you are considering squint surgery, it is important to have a conversation with your eye doctor to determine if it is the right treatment for you. Squint ( strabismus ) surgery is performed to straighten the two eyes by changing the position or tension of the eye muscles that move the eyes. Six small muscles work together to move each eye, and strabismus occurs when there is an imbalance of these muscles and the eye turns away from the other eye.

Depending on the direction and degree of the misalignment, the surgeon may in surgery strengthen, weaken, or reposition one or more of these muscles to produce straighter, better-coordinated eyes.

When is Squint Surgery Recommended?

Usually squint surgery is advised if:

• Deviation is large and does not improve with glasses or patching
• A squint interferes with the development of binocular vision in a child
• Patient is visibly concerned about the cosmetic appearance and impact on confidence and social interactions
• Squint starting in adulthood that does not respond to non-surgical treatment
• The squint is due to a specific muscle or nerve imbalance that is best corrected surgically
• The deviation was over- or under-corrected by previous squint surgery

Signs Surgery Might Be the Right Choice

When to visit our eye surgeon in Indore:

• There is no change or worsening of the visible eye deviation despite conservative treatment
• Head tilting/turning still used to compensate for the misalignment
• Double vision continues to interfere with daily activities
• Noticeable asymmetry in eye position affecting appearance
• Child with constant squint and signs of amblyopia

Pre Surgery Evaluation

Before recommending surgery, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to ascertain the exact angle and pattern of deviation in different gaze directions, pinpoint the involved muscles, and rule out any underlying neurological or systemic etiology. Accurate measurement is crucial for selecting the correct surgical approach and for a predictable result.

Squint Surgery Procedure and Recovery

Squint surgery is generally performed as a day care procedure under local or general anesthesia, depending on the age of the patient and the complexity of the case.

The surgical approach may be:

• Muscle recession: Moving an overactive muscle back further to weaken it
• Muscle resection – strengthening an underactive muscle by shortening it
• Adjustable suture techniques to allow for fine-tuning of alignment after surgery in selected adults.
• Combined multi muscle surgery for more complex deviation patterns

Generally, the recovery process includes mild redness and some discomfort for a short time and most patients are back to normal activities within a few days. Dr. Jha schedules follow-up visits to check alignment and make adjustments for any under- or over-correction that might occur.
