Squint

01

Causes of squints

The exact cause of a squint is not always known. Some people are born with a squint and others develop one later in life. Sometimes they run in families. In children, a squint is often caused by the eye attempting to overcome a vision problem,
such as :

  • Short-sightedness – difficulty seeing things that are far away
  • Long-sightedness difficulty seeing nearby objects
  • Astigmatism - where the front of the eye is unevenly curved, causing blurred vision
  • Rarer causes of a squint include - some infections, such as measles, some genetic conditions or syndromes, such as Down's syndrome, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, other problems with the brain or nerves. A squint can also sometimes be a symptom of a rare type of childhood eye cancer called retinoblastoma. Take your child to see a GP if they have a squint to rule out this condition.

The main treatments for a squint are

  • Glasses – these can help if a squint is caused by a problem with your child's eyesight, such as long-sightedness.
  • Eye exercises – exercises for the muscles that control eye movement may sometimes help the eyes work together better.
  • Injections into the eye muscles – these weaken the eye muscles, which can help the eyes line up better. But the effect usually lasts less than 3 months.
