Common squints involve one or both eyes turning either inwards (convergent squint) or outwards (divergent squint), especially if the child is not concentrating at the time. Sometimes, this may be associated with an eye drifting upwards. A squint may be a problem in itself, or may signal other problems with the eyes. It is best also for an assessment by the eye specialist.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">If a squint needs to be corrected, strabismus surgery is usually a quick day-case surgery, and is very successful. This can be timed for the school holidays so that the child does not miss school. If a squint is left uncorrected, it may affect the child\u2019s sense of stereovision and distance judgement, cause one or both eyes to be \u201clazy\u201d, and will affect self-esteem because of cruel teasing in school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-25b0d43\" data-id=\"25b0d43\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da15bb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"da15bb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"justify\">If your child has a squint or an uncorrected refractive error, such as astigmatism or long-sightedness, early detection and intervention can prevent the occurrence of \u201clazy eye\u201d (or amblyopia). Intervention has to be done generally before the age of about 7 years, because corrections after this age give much poorer results. An <a href=\"https:\/\/eyewisevision.com.sg\/zh\/\">eye clinic<\/a> consultation will establish the problem, and we will be able to suggest an appropriate method of treatment for your child.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">During the assessment, your child\u2019s eye alignment will be checked for a squint, vision will be measured, and a degree assessment made. If the child is cooperative enough, eye pressure measurement will be also performed. Pupil dilation using eyedrops will be done to thoroughly examine the retina. If required, drops to relax the muscles of focusing will be instilled to accurately measure the eyes\u2019 power. This whole process is a very complete eye exam, and may take about 2-3 hours. So please be patient with us, as we want the best eye exam for your child. It is preferable not to bring along other children who are not being examined during that visit, as they tend to get restless during this time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
