title: Refractive amblyopia: a preventable vision condition.
abstract: There are very few visual conditions which can be greatly reduced or prevented. One exception to this statement is amblyopia, particularly refractive amblyopia. The methods and concepts for prevention are discussed and guidelines are proposed for the management of those pediatric patients "at risk" to develop refractive amblyopia or secondary strabismus.
