Hi mummies, any of your children had gone through the surgery for squint eye. Can share with me some information please, thanks

Hi mummy, here's some information I gather. A squint is a common condition affecting young children that may affect their sight, appearance and confidence if not detected and treated early. Every young child should have his eyes checked regularly. The treatment of squint is safe and effective but needs the full cooperation of parents. A child with a squint needs a full eye checkup. This may take time as young children are often uncooperative and may need to be sedated. Even then it may still be necessary to come back another day to confirm the findings or even to put the child to sleep under general anaesthesia to allow an accurate examination. Treatment may include a combination of patching, eye glasses, eye drops, eye exercises, and surgery. Treatment using the spectacles to correct any refractive errors may cure some types of squint, but to be effective the spectacles must be worn most of the time. As children often resist, the responsibility falls to the parents to make sure they wear their spectacles constantly. Any lazy eye must be treated. The most effective method is to cover the good eye with a patch so that the child is forced to use the lazy eye. Adequate treatment of lazy eye improves the results of surgery. Lastly, the eyes must be straightened to improve the appearance and to allow the child to use both eyes together, done usually by surgery. Surgery is only recommended if patching or eye glasses do not work. Hope it helps. https://www.nuh.com.sg/eye/patients-and-visitors/diseases-and-conditions/paediatric-ophthalmology/squints.html

I had a slight squint when I was a child and I didn't go for surgery. Since it was very mild, my parents opted for the eye patch method. I wore the eye patch whenever I was at home to train my right eye. It worked well and you can't tell that my right eye is slightly off centre unless you're staring really intently at it. In my teens, I started wearing contact lenses and this has proven to help as well.
