Vision screening for strabismus and amblyopia : a critical appraisal of the evidence Bassett, Kenneth, 1952-; Forbes, I.

Abstract

Vision screening programs, conducted both prior to and at the time of school entry remain as time-honoured efforts for the early detection of potentially vision-damaging ocular disorders, particularly strabismus and amblyopia. At issue in this report, is whether the available scientific evidence supports these vision screening efforts.
