Get complete orthoptic check up with refraction under  mydriasis, then only correct treatment. What is the age of child. Surgery is not the only treatment.

Child need complete evaluation to see what type of squint and how much is the squint. In kids many times squint can be reduced by giving corrective glasses. Surgery is not the fist step for squint. Has to be evaluated thoroughly by pediatric Ophthalmologist.
