title: [Strabismus and stereopsis in children].
abstract: 43 strabismus children 5-12 years old were successfully corrected with surgery plus synoptoscope functional training before and after the operation. They were followed up for an average 2 years: 38 cases (88.4%) obtained qualitative stereopsis with the synoptoscope, and 14 cases (32.6%) obtained central stereoacuity with Yan's stereoscopic test charts. The results indicated that early surgical intervention plus functional training before and after the operation was an effective means to raise the functional cure rate of strabismus in children. The two methods of synoptoscope and Yan's stereoscopic test charts and their clinical significance were discussed.
