Squint Surgery Treatment in India

Pooja Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad, had a congenital squint (esotropia) in her right eye since childhood. She was often teased in school, leading to deep-seated insecurity and a habit of avoiding eye contact. As an adult, the misalignment caused persistent double vision during long coding sessions, leading to headaches and eye strain. Her ophthalmologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that the muscles controlling her eye alignment were imbalanced. He recommended squint surgery to correct the cosmetic appearance and, more importantly, to alleviate the double vision and prevent permanent suppression of vision in that eye. Pooja was anxious about surgery on her eye but decided to proceed. The procedure under general anesthesia was quick, and she experienced mild soreness and redness afterward. Recovery involved using antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops for a few weeks. The outcome was excellent; her eyes were perfectly aligned, the double vision resolved, and her depth perception improved. Emotionally, Pooja transformed from a self-conscious woman who hid behind her screen to a confident professional who now engages comfortably in meetings and social settings, feeling a profound sense of relief and a new connection to the world.
