Abstract

Key Points Vision screening for amblyopia and strabismus can help prevent loss of vision in children. Screening should begin early in infancy by testing the ability to fixate and follow and by checking the corneal light reflex for symmetry. Instrument-based screening should begin by the first birthday, and visual acuity testing is successful in most children by 3 years of age. The earlier treatment is started, the better is the prognosis.
