Squint Surgery in Karachi — Why Choose FIO Hospital?
Squint Surgery in Karachi is available at FIO Hospital Karachi (Clifton Block 8, Karachi 75600). Squint (strabismus) is misalignment of the eyes — one eye turns in (esotropia), out (exotropia), up or down. Left untreated in children, it leads to amblyopia (lazy eye). FIO Hospital offers adjustable suture squint surgery — where the muscle position is fine-tuned the day after surgery while the patient is awake, maximising precision outcomes. Surgery is day-care under local (adults) or general (children) anaesthesia. Karachi patients benefit from our fellowship-trained specialists, Adjustable suture technique, and 85–90% satisfactory alignment success rate. We serve patients from Karachi and all of Sindh.

Squint Surgery in Karachi — FAQs
At what age should squint be corrected?
As early as possible — before age 8 for best visual outcomes. Cosmetic surgery can be performed at any age.
Will my child need glasses after squint surgery?
Possibly. Surgery aligns the eyes but does not correct the underlying refractive error. Glasses may still be needed.
Can squint recur after surgery?
Yes — in 10–15% of cases. Adjustable suture technique minimises this. Revision surgery is possible if needed.
