title: [Amblyopia and refractive error in patients who suffered from eyelid haemangioma in early childhood].
abstract: 15 patients with eyelid haemangioma in early childhood had been reevaluated concerning amblyopia and refractive error. There was myopia in 3 of 15 and astigmatism in 9 patients on the tumor side. Amblyopia could be found in all patients with astigmatism higher than 2 diopters, all myopic patients and all patients with localisation of the haemangioma in the lower eyelid. The lower incidence of myopia in our group is discussed In connection with the x-ray therapy which 10 of our patients underwent. It seems necessary in patients with lid haemangioma in early childhood to discover and correct a possible refractive error as soon as possible and in some cases to start orthoptic treatment.
