WILL THIS 'SQUINT' RESOLVE?Who would be comfortable to observe, or refer?

SHOW OF HANDSIs a real strabismus present? Which eye?

MYTHAn eye possibly turning.......
"Wait before referring
young children as some
resolve"

Technology makes screening & accurate diagnosis easy - done outside the hospital system:
Free, & any required specialist management -
Free for CSC card holders <16
Test & expert management (100s of cases/yr)
ISSUEIt can be difficult to know whether there is a
squint present
& many cases begin intermittently or with a
smaller angle

INFANTILE ESOTROPIAConstant, large, many lose vision in 1 eye
Surgery must be done by 12 months to get normal vision
![Page 9: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1636... · • "Strabismus surgery is a largely cosmesis issue" • Function is the key indication • Unless](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040615/5f0f586c7e708231d443b32e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FOCUS DRIVEN ESOTROPIAStart 1 to 3 yrs old, ~100% poor vision 1 eye if not referred & treated early. Easy to
miss - need high tech screen
![Page 10: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1636... · • "Strabismus surgery is a largely cosmesis issue" • Function is the key indication • Unless](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040615/5f0f586c7e708231d443b32e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MYTH
• "Surgery is done when children older"
• general myth: squint outcomes not dependent on
how quickly and well the child is treated
Normal, or good vision, is totally dependent on
treating promptly/expertly
![Page 11: Dr Kate Dr Antony Dr Fiona Dr Melanie Gibson Bedggood ... South/Fri_Room6_1636... · • "Strabismus surgery is a largely cosmesis issue" • Function is the key indication • Unless](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040615/5f0f586c7e708231d443b32e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EXOTROPIA Often intermittent, visual development can be normal
A constant outward turn needs urgent referral and treatment

ACQUIRED DOUBLE VISIONALWAYS NEEDS REFERRAL

MYTH
• "Strabismus surgery is a largely cosmesis issue"
• Function is the key indication
• Unless blind in 1 eye (large, disfiguring squint)
• "Surgery often needs 2 or 3 attempts"
• My 2nd surgery rate is 5%
• 3 or more <1%

SUMMARYSHOULD YOU REFER A 'SQUINT?'
• Always do so: at least to screen
• Don't observe/delay
But usually not urgent unless absent red reflex
Warning signs: older onset, diplopia, headache
