Thea’s Squint Correction Surgery
Parents often come to us feeling unsure about what their child’s eye condition means or what treatment involves. In Thea’s case, her squint was first noticed at a young age and carefully monitored before surgery was recommended. Following a thorough assessment, she underwent a straightforward day-case procedure and was back home the same day.
With the support of a specialist paediatric team and a calm, child-friendly environment, her experience was positive from start to finish. After surgery, her recovery was quick, and the improvement in her vision and confidence was clear, highlighting the life-changing impact of early, expert care.
