Overview
For children: correct any refractive error with glasses, treat lazy eye, then address residual misalignment — sometimes with surgery. For adults: find the cause, relieve double vision (prisms can help immediately), and consider surgery for stable deviations.
Not every squint needs an operation, and not every squint can be fixed with glasses — the evaluation determines which path applies.
