| squint | 1. <ophthalmology> To see or look obliquely, asquint, or awry, or with a furtive glance. Specifically, not having the optic axes coincident; said of the eyes. To have the axes of the eyes not coincident; to be cross-eyed. 2. To deviate from a true line; to run obliquely. Synonym: strabismus. Origin: Cf. D.
