Understanding the eye muscles
The movement of each eye is controlled by six muscles that pull the eye in various directions. For example, to look left, the lateral rectus muscle of the left eye pulls the left eye outward and the medical rectus of the right eye pulls the right eye inward towards the nose.
A squint develops when the eye muscles do not work in a balanced way and the eyes do not move together correctly.
