Child squint is not something parents should ignore, especially when one eye turns in, out, up or down repeatedly. This guide explains the warning signs, why early diagnosis matters, and when a child should be seen by an eye specialist.

Depending on the cause, age, vision development, and eye alignment, non-surgical options such as glasses, patching, or observation may be part of the treatment plan. This guide explains when those options may help and when surgery may still be considered.
