Approximately 5 in every 100 children aged five years are likely to suffer from a squint. The stigmatization of a child's psychology by strabismus is significant, as it affects their lives socially and professionally. Children with strabismus may face marginalization and social exclusion due to their physical appearance and may also experience difficulties in learning and socializing. It has become increasingly necessary to fully understand the emotional and psychological impacts of strabismus in children and to address the challenges faced by them.</abstract></record></records>
