Surat, (Gujarat) [India] September 8, 2026: ASG Eye Hospital, Surat is raising awareness about squint (Strabismus) surgery. The primary objective is to increase public awareness about squint, explain the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, and encourage patients and parents to seek consultation from a squint specialist.
Squint, medically known as Strabismus, is a condition in which both eyes do not remain aligned in the same direction and may turn in different directions. Squint is often considered merely a cosmetic concern; however, particularly in children, it can affect the normal development of vision. Therefore, timely examination and appropriate treatment are extremely important. Proper treatment can also have a positive impact on a patient’s confidence and overall quality of life.
At ASG Eye Hospital, Surat, several patients have received treatment for squint under the expert supervision of Squint Specialist Dr. Pooja Patel and have achieved satisfactory and encouraging results. Photographs of patients before and after surgery have also been presented, demonstrating the improvement achieved following squint treatment. Through these cases, ASG Eye Hospital aims to convey an important message: Squint is a treatable condition and should not be ignored or considered merely a cosmetic issue. Timely evaluation by a specialist can help determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient.
ASG Eye Hospital, Surat, sincerely expresses its gratitude to the Government of India and the Ayushman Bharat initiative, through which eligible patients are being supported in accessing specialised surgical treatments such as squint surgery under the scheme. Such support is particularly important for eligible patients from economically weaker sections of society. It can help them access the specialised surgical treatment they require while reducing the financial burden associated with treatment.
ASG Eye Hospital, Surat aims to create greater awareness among the public, particularly regarding children, that squint should not be neglected. The hospital’s objective is to encourage parents and patients to recognise the signs of squint, understand that effective treatment options are available, and seek timely evaluation and advice from a Squint/Strabismus Specialist.
ASG Eye Hospital, Surat remains committed to providing expert and quality eye care to patients in the community and to making advanced treatment options accessible to as many patients as possible.
