Squint
About Squint (Strabismus)
A squint, medically known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are misaligned and do not look in the same direction. One eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards while the other remains focused. This misalignment affects both children and adults, though its causes and implications may differ depending on age.
In children, a squint often develops due to an imbalance in the muscles controlling the eyes, leading to poor coordination between them. If left untreated, it can cause amblyopia, or “lazy eye,” where the brain begins to favour one eye, potentially impairing vision in the affected eye. Early detection, including glasses, eye patches, or surgery, is crucial for successful treatment.
In adults, strabismus can arise from trauma, neurological conditions, or illnesses like stroke or diabetes. It may cause double vision, headaches, or eye strain, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Treatment options include corrective lenses, vision therapy, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause.
Effective management of squint is vital for improving visual function and overall eye health in children and adults.
At Moorfields Eye Hospitals UAE, our highly qualified adult and paediatric squint surgeons have extensive experience diagnosing and treating all forms of squint.

Uveitis
What is Uveitis?
Uveitis refers to inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. This layer plays a vital role in supplying blood to the eye. Uveitis can affect people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults and may present with a range of symptoms depending on the underlying cause.
Although uveitis is not very common, it accounts for an estimated 10–15% of blindness cases, making early diagnosis and careful management essential. With timely and appropriate treatment, many individuals with uveitis can maintain good vision. Due to its complexity, uveitis is best managed by an ophthalmologist with expertise in ocular inflammatory diseases.
At Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai or Abu Dhabi, our specialists in ocular inflammatory conditions provide expert care for individuals with uveitis. Through a detailed assessment of your eye health, medical history, and systemic risk factors, we will recommend a tailored treatment plan to manage inflammation effectively and protect your long-term vision.
