Exotropia is a type of squint in which one eye occasionally or constantly turns outward. It may be noticed when a child is tired, daydreaming, or focusing on distant objects. Early diagnosis is important, as untreated exotropia can affect binocular vision, depth perception, and overall visual development.
At Focus Eye Clinic, Thane, Dr. Mohini Modak provides comprehensive evaluation and individualized management of exotropia. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition. Options may include prescription glasses to correct refractive errors, treatment of associated amblyopia (lazy eye), and eye exercises in selected cases to improve eye coordination. Regular monitoring helps assess control of the deviation and visual function.
When the eye turn is significant or poorly controlled, squint surgery may be recommended to align the eyes and improve binocular vision. With timely intervention and appropriate treatment, many patients achieve good eye alignment, better visual function, and improved confidence in daily life.
