"Treatment varies accordingly to the type of squint. An operation is not always needed. The main forms of treatment are:
- Spectacles - to correct any sight problems, especially long sight.
- Occlusion - patching the good eye to encourage the weaker eye to be used. This is usually done under the supervision of an orthoptist.
- Eye drops - certain types of squint can be treated with the use of special eye drops.
- Surgery - this is used with congenital squints, together with other forms of treatment in older children, if needed. Surgery can be performed as early as a few months of age."
