Squint Surgery

Strabismus where one or both eyes turn inward, outward, or vertically affects both children and adults. In children, uncorrected misalignment can lead to amblyopia and permanent loss of binocular depth perception. In adults, it causes double vision and a significant impact on confidence and daily life that glasses and patching alone cannot adequately resolve for larger deviations.

Squint surgery at Peshawar Eye Hospital precisely repositions the extraocular muscles responsible for eye movement in a single day-case procedure general anaesthesia for children, local anaesthesia for adults. Adults additionally benefit from the adjustable suture technique, where alignment is fine-tuned the following day for maximum precision.
