Squint is the condition in which the eyes are looked in different direction. One eye is focusing forward to see the object, while other eye turns either inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards. Mostly, young children are affected by the squint problem. The medical term for squint is strabismus.
The condition occurs because of improper balance of the muscles that is responsible for movement of eye, damaged nerve signals to the eye muscles and problems in focusing objects. If this imbalance is present then the eye may turn in, turn out, or both and stopping the eyes to properly work together. Squint can occur at any age. An infant can be born with or develop squint soon after birth.
