A squint, also known as strabismus, occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned. Strabismus can be ongoing or intermittent. This is usually due to the extraocular muscles, which control eye and eyelid movement, not cooperating. As a result, neither eye can concentrate on the same object at the same time. It can also happen as a result of a brain injury or disorder that impairs the eyes' ability to work together. Constant strabismus prevents binocular vision, causing a loss of depth perception. From a young age, squinting is an obvious sign. One of the eyes is not looking forward. A minor squint may be less noticeable. Cross-eyed behavior in infants and newborns is common, especially when they are tired. This is not to say that they squint. Parents should seek medical advice. When a child closes one eye or tilts their head to look at something, this could be a sign of double vision or a squint. A visit to the doctor is advised.
