Abstract

Teller acuity card testing, which is a form of the preferential-looking procedure, is a popular way of assessing visual acuity in preverbal patients. The authors suspected that the clinical judgment of a pediatric ophthalmologist is superior to the Teller acuity cards in diagnosing amblyopia when strabismus is present. Acuity card and fixation preference measurements on each eye were compared at the same clinical visit in a group of 108 strabismus patients. The authors found that the acuity cards could be used to detect amblyopia. However, the pediatric ophthalmologist was more sensitive in diagnosing amblyopia than the Teller acuity cards in the presence of strabismus.
