Squint Correction Surgery in Ambala at LJ Eye Institute
A squint, medically known as strabismus, is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned and do not look in the same direction at the same time. This condition can affect both children and adults, impacting vision, depth perception, and self-confidence. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent long-term vision problems.
At LJ Eye Institute, Ambala, we offer advanced squint correction surgery and comprehensive eye alignment care using modern surgical techniques and experienced ophthalmologists.

Squint occurs when the eye muscles are not properly coordinated, causing one eye to turn inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other eye focuses normally.
