Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
No
Squint is caused by weakness in certain ocular muscles.It can't be corrected by nutritious food.If not corrected in time it can result in amblyopia(LAZY EYE PHENOMENON).So use spectacles sincerely and if no result then get it operated from experienced surgeon
Sight problem can decrease a little bit by eating vegetables you are asking for.
Happy to help you
Best regards
