Squint (Strabismus) Evaluation in Bhavnagar – Expert Eye Alignment Diagnosis

Squint (Strabismus) is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and may point in different directions.
At Shree Ram Netralaya, we provide advanced
squint evaluation in Bhavnagar to accurately diagnose the type, cause, and severity of eye misalignment.

Early diagnosis is especially important in children, as timely treatment can prevent
amblyopia (lazy eye) and long-term vision problems.

What Does a Squint Evaluation Include?

Our comprehensive and child-friendly squint assessment ensures precise diagnosis:

• Detailed Medical History
  Evaluation of onset (since birth or later), variability, family history, trauma, and symptoms like double vision or eye strain.
• Vision Assessment (Visual Acuity)
  Age-appropriate testing to check clarity of vision and detect amblyopia (lazy eye).
• Refraction (Eye Power Check)
  Cycloplegic refraction to identify refractive errors, a common cause of squint in children.
• Ocular Alignment Testing
  Tests like cover-uncover and prism cover test to measure the degree and type of deviation.
• Ocular Motility Examination
  Assessment of eye movements to detect muscle or nerve-related problems.
• Binocular Vision & Depth Perception
  Evaluation of coordination between both eyes and 3D vision (stereopsis).
• Anterior & Posterior Eye Examination
  Slit-lamp and retinal examination to rule out underlying eye diseases.

• Eyes appearing misaligned (inward, outward, upward, or downward)
