title: [Experience in the early detection of strabismus in child day care centers. Value in the prevention of amblyopia in young children].
abstract: A screening for early detection of strabismus in infants and young children attending day care centers in the town of Lyons was conducted during one year (1986): 838 children (3 month to 3 year old) were screened. A defective vision was found in 17 children (2%). Such early screening of strabismus, easy to realize and well accepted by the parents, is of great interest since it allows early detection and treatment with a maximum chance of complete recovery before starting primary school.
