Squint Surgery

Squint Surgery (Eye Muscle Surgery) at YNB Health Care

Squint surgery, also known as eye muscle surgery, is a specialized procedure aimed at correcting misalignment of the eyes (strabismus). At YNB Health Care, we provide state-of-the-art medical services, including squint surgery, to improve both vision and appearance. Performed by expert ophthalmologists, our minimally invasive approach ensures effective treatment with minimal downtime.

Understanding Squint Surgery: Procedure & Benefits

Squint surgery is performed to adjust the eye muscles responsible for controlling the alignment of the eyes. This correction helps the eyes focus in the same direction, eliminating the cross-eyed or misaligned appearance.

Procedure

The surgery is conducted under general or local anesthesia.
The ophthalmologist loosens, tightens, or repositions the eye muscles to achieve proper alignment.
Absorbable sutures are used to secure the muscles in the desired position.
The procedure typically lasts 40 to 60 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.

Benefits

Improved Ocular Alignment: Corrects misaligned eyes, enabling them to move and focus together.
Enhanced Vision: Addresses double vision and restores binocular vision, offering better depth perception.
Broader Visual Field: Expands peripheral vision, improving the patient's ability to see side-to-side.
Boosted Confidence: Improves appearance, self-image, and social interactions by resolving the cosmetic concerns of crossed eyes.
