Only children can develop amblyopia and if it is not treated in time, it can cause permanent loss of vision.
Strabismus or squint refers to the condition of misalignment of the eyes. While one eye looks straight the other eye may turn outwards, inwards, upwards or downwards.
Treating the uncorrected refractive errors, certain eye exercises and/or specialised squint surgery are undertaken to treat this condition
