Strabismus (Squint)
What is Strabismus (Squint)
In homeopathy, Strabismus is considered a misalignment of the eyes due to imbalance in the muscular or neurological coordination of the eyes.
Homeopathy focuses on strengthening the eye muscles, improving the brain-eye coordination, and restoring overall constitutional balance, rather than just treating the cosmetic appearance.
It treats the root cause, which could be muscular weakness, nerve imbalance, or constitutional factors, and aims to enhance visual development naturally.
Strabismus, commonly known as squint, is a condition in which the eyes do not align properly, and one eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards while the other looks straight ahead.
In homeopathy:
“Strabismus indicates lack of coordination between the ocular muscles and the brain, often influenced by the child’s overall vitality and constitutional balance.”

1. Congenital factors – Present from birth due to muscular or neurological development issues.
2. Muscle imbalance – Weakness or overaction in specific eye muscles.
3. Refractive errors – Uncorrected myopia, hypermetropia, or astigmatism causing eye strain.
4. Family history – Genetic predisposition.
5. Brain-eye coordination issues – Neurological imbalance affecting eye alignment.
6. Constitutional weakness – Low vitality affecting eye muscle strength and control.
