I think he means one eye not appearing to point in the right direction.
I now have a squint since May, and I can you it's a bloody pain. I keep bumping into things as my near judgement has gone tits up.
Also sufferi double vision in certain areas of my field of vision, which is more of a pain.

Got it in one, that's exactly the info i'm after.I now have a squint since May, and I can you it's a bloody pain. I keep bumping into things as my near judgement has gone tits up.

Hope you are recovering well mate.
Cheers,

But I'm not sure if all squints are the same. Mine for instance is due to damaged muscles that control the eyeball (but is gradually becoming les noticable). I belive many are due to misaligned lenses within the eye itself.
Thanks for the concern, recovery is going OK, been through a patch of feeling a little angry & down over the last couple of weeks but I'm positive again now. Basically looking like I'll have some moderate double vision for the rest of my life, right eye is about 2mm lower than the left eye & set back about 4mm (was down 8 & back 11mm pre operation) but s
t happens.Edited by TheDetailDoctor on Thursday 29th October 13:35

Why, if people are having trouble seeing something, do they squint? How does that 'help matters'?
it helps to focus the eyes, im very slightly short sighted, if i want to read something at a distance without my glasses on, I squint, it helps my focus lots.Not sure why exactly but it does help, a lot.
Perhaps you change the shape of your eye slightly?

I've had a squint since I was very young, that coupled to un-binoculor vision, I don't see very well.
It does knock of your depth perception a bit and should screw up your hand eye co-ordination, but when I was younger I couldn't even pour juice into a cup without spilling it was that bad.
I've managed just to get on with it and can now do most things fine.

Squints (ambylopia) are usually corrected with glasses in young children - if this doesn't happen then the eye usually gets ignored by the brain and is effectively blind. Anyone you see with a major squint without glasses is possibly blind in one eye.
I had my squint corrected with glasses, but I wear a massive prescription now, and late at night my eyes tend to forget they are both looking at the same thing. Quite annoying.
Squinting (holding the eyes partially closed) does indeed change the shape of the eye a bit, which can alter your prescription temporarily.
