Squint is an eye disorder that leads to misalignment of the eyes. Squint is caused by the weakening of the eye muscles that are responsible for the movement of the eyeball, eyelids and eyebrows. Actually, the movement of the eye is controlled by six ocular muscles that allows our eyes to move up-down, left-right and in circular motion. Squint is also known as strabismus and it is can be corrected by prescribing eyeglasses, medication and surgery. But surgery is rarely recommended by an ophthalmologist. Squint is caused by various reasons.
