Get rid of slight squint (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cast

This clue is a double definition.

'get rid of' is the first definition.
(as in casting away)

'slight squint' is the second definition.
(cast can mean a slight squint)

(Other definitions for cast that I've seen before include "Squint to see" , "'Send forth, a spell perhaps (4)'" , "Get rid of" , "Select actors for play or film" , "Troupe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
