7 month old baby squinting eyes.
Overview - Squint
A squint, also called strabismus, is where the eyes point in different directions. It's particularly common in young children, but can happen at any age.
One of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down while the other eye looks ahead.

This may happen all the time or it may come and go.
Treatment is usually recommended to correct a squint, as it's unlikely to get better on its own and it could cause further problems if not treated early on.
When to get medical advice
Get advice if:
- your child has a squint all the time
- your child is older than 3 months and has a squint that comes and goes – in babies younger than this, squints that come and go are common and are not usually a cause for concern
- you have any concerns about your child's vision – signs of a problem can include regularly turning their head to one side or keeping one eye closed when looking at things
- you develop a squint or double vision later in life
