Children's Eye Health

3 answers
Newborns are checked for basic eye health, and a formal vision assessment is useful around age 3-4 - or sooner if you notice a squint, a white reflex in photos, head-tilting or sitting very close to screens.
Signs include a squint, sitting close to the TV, head-tilting, frequent eye-rubbing, one weaker eye, or difficulty at school. Children rarely say their vision is poor, so screening is the surest way to catch problems.
Yes - lazy eye (amblyopia) is very treatable when caught early, usually with glasses and patching or drops. Treatment works best in early childhood.

Squint (Strabismus)

3 answers
No - a true squint needs assessment, because untreated it can cause lazy eye. A persistent or noticeable squint should be checked (a brief wandering in young babies can be normal).
Yes - squint can be corrected at any age, improving alignment and appearance and sometimes relieving double vision. It’s a common, safe day-care procedure.
Reported success is around 70-90% for good alignment; some eyes need a second procedure or ongoing glasses/exercises.

Treatment, Safety & Cost

3 answers
Yes - it’s a well-established day-care procedure done under general anaesthesia for children, with generally low risks that your specialist will explain.
From about ₹20,000 to ₹70,000 depending on the number of muscles and technique (indicative). See our squint cost page; cashless and EMI available.
Medically necessary treatment and surgery (squint, cataract) are usually covered, subject to your policy. We offer cashless options and Easy EMI.
