Abstract
Squint is a misalignment of the eyes and the various causes in children and in adults are described here. Because squint may be due to more serious underlying disease a full examination of the patient is needed. In children the deviation of the eyes may be associated with impaired vision of the deviating eye and early treatment is important to allow good use of both eyes in adult life.
