Hello lybrate-user. Squint of the eye has multiple causes associated with it. Let me enumerate them in brief:
(1) significant difference in the refractive error (glasses power) between both eyes.
(2) injury to the eye.
(3) cataract/ opacity of the lens in one eye (in pediatric age group specifically).
(4) eye having undergone surgery would have the possibility of getting deviated with time.
(5) long standing retinal problem in an eye.
(6) amblyopia/ lazy eye.
It would...more

Hello
a. Vision in left eye: it is difficult to comment without examining your eye
b. Squint: this can be easily corrected by surgery.

In some children, where the exotropia is infrequent or “well-controlled,” close observation by an orthoptist or ophthalmologist, without other specific treatment, is warranted. When the exotropia appears more frequently and is “poorly-controlled,” other treatment may be necessary. Although glasses, exercises, or prisms are sometimes prescribed to reduce or help control the outward turning eye in some children, surgery is often needed to properly re-align the eyes while still young enough to allo...more

Hello lybrate-user.
My suggestion is to give proper homoeopathic treament.
It can stop the increase in numbers and then can gradually decrease it.
You can consult me at Lybrate.
Till then start with a multivitamin tablet. And tell him to do pranayama.

Hello sir.

Also one would like to know the duration of your symptoms to further decide if your condition is treatable or not. Ki...more

Hello. Sorry about your friend's eye problem. Coming to your first question: unfortunately, it would not be possible to get back complete vision in the damaged eye. Vision lost during childhood is difficult to recover after so many years. The initial years of life are the ones that determine the growth and development of the eye. During this period the eye learns to see. Once the vision is compromised during childhood, there is very less chance of recovering it at such a late stage. Coming to yo...more

Sight is one of our most important senses. To ensure that your vision is not compromised, regular eye examinations are essential. This is regardless of age and overall health because the only way to diagnose conditions in the eye in the early stages is with a comprehensive eye exam. By arresting them in the early stages, many eye disorders can be easily controlled and treated.

During a routine eye examination, the doctor will look into a number of aspects of your eye's health. An eye ex...more
