Squint...
What are the treatment options?
• Glasses
• Patching therapy (occlusion)
• Surgery

Are glasses necessary?
If the child has significant refractive error, glasses are a must. In some cases wearing glasses may correct squint. In other cases, wearing glasses help the eyes to see clearly. This clear vision is very important for the treatment of amblyopia, and also for maintaining the alignment of eyes after they have been aligned by surgery. Remember surgery cannot replace the need for glasses.

Patching
For a detailed account of patching, please see under Amblyopia
