title: [Improving the function of the visual system in children with aphakia].
abstract: Systematic reeducation by pleoptic-orthoptic exercises was performed in children with posttraumatic and congenital aphakia for the improvement of the visual acuity, normal retinal fixation and binocular vision. The treatment comprised 244 children aged 1-16 years who were formerly given a correcting contact lens on the aphakic eye. In the result of rehabilitation a visual acuity of over 5/16 was attained in 79.5 per cent of cases, a normal retinal fixation in 73.77 per cent and the binocular vision in 46.31 p.c. Better results were obtained after treatment of a posttraumatic cataract, poorer results after extraction of a congenital cataract.
