Innovation is the key to improvement. But should this be at the cost of patients. Should we deprive a patient of known and established treatment protocols in order to ensure that we can discover something new. With clinical research growing at such a rapid speed as an industry, are we sometimes treating our patients as guinea pigs. Are we entitled to subject them to treatment that is not established or known to be effective. There is a question of ethics involved in this issue.
While this is debatable, contemplation is needed before we embark on any clinical trials of harmful drugs. As medical professionals we have been bestowed with special rights to treat and take care of others - we enjoy the unstinting faith of our patients and their good will and best wishes. So let us ensure that we do the best for our patients for they come to us in need.
Lets think about this every moment we see a patient walking into the door of our clinic.

COSMETIC IMPLICATIONS OF SQUINT
Have you ever wondered about the cosmetic implications of squint?
One needs to realize that the presence of squint can lead to diminished self confidence simply because the person cannot make EYE CONTACT. This may lead to lesser chance of being selected for jobs especially ones which need leadership skills and marketing. One cannot deny that beauty lies in having symmetrical and straight eyes.

Even in the most complex cases, excellent outcome can be achieved.
Adults can benefit a lot by squint surgery - not only does it make one look good, also helps to improve the self confidence and enhance self esteem.
