What is a Squint? (Crossed Eyes)

A squint, also known as crossed eyes, occurs when the eyes don't align in the same direction. This can cause one eye to point inward, outward, or even upwards. At Kailash Eye Care, we provide treatments to correct squints, ranging from glasses and eye exercises to gentle surgery. Early intervention is key to ensuring your child’s eyes develop correctly.

Why Early Eye Check-ups are Essential for Children

Regular eye check-ups are essential for your child’s visual development. Just like a plant needs the right care to grow strong, your child’s vision needs proper monitoring from a young age. We advise regular eye exams to catch any issues early. These visits can prevent long-term vision problems and ensure your child is on track for a lifetime of clear vision.

Diagnostic Modalities


At Kailash Eye Care, we use the latest technology to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatments:

  • Vision Checkers: Fun machines that test your child's vision, similar to a video game.
  • Eye Cameras: Special cameras capture detailed images inside the eye to help detect potential problems early.
  • Kid-Friendly Surgical Tools: Our precise surgical tools are designed specifically for small eyes, ensuring safe and effective procedures.

Common Pediatric Eye Problems We Treat

Here are some common pediatric eye problems we treat:

    • Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis): An eye infection that causes redness and watering. It’s usually treatable with proper care.
    • Lazy Eye (Amblyopia): One eye becomes weaker than the other. We help treat it using eye patches or exercises to strengthen the weaker eye.
    • Watery Eyes: Blocked tear ducts can be easily treated with gentle techniques.
    • Droopy Eyelids: We help correct drooping eyelids that can interfere with vision.
    • Shaky Eyes (Nystagmus): Sometimes, kids experience involuntary eye movement. We offer treatments to stabilise the eyes.
    • School Vision Problems: Sometimes lack of concentration in school may be due to vision problems, which can easily be corrected if detected.
    • Premature Baby Eye Problems: Premature infants may need special eye care to ensure healthy eye development.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend an eye exam at 6 months, then again at 3 years old, and before school starts. After that, check-ups every two years are ideal unless we see specific issues that need more frequent visits.

Signs that your child may need an eye check-up include frequent head tilting, trouble with reading, avoiding activities that require focus, or complaining of headaches.

Eye problems in children should be addressed early. Delayed treatment can make some conditions harder to treat, like lazy eye or squints. Early intervention helps achieve the best results.
