Screening for refractive errors, strabismus and other ocular anomalies from ages 6 months to 3 years.
There were 3,375 children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years screened for refractive errors and strabismus. In 363 children (10.7%) some kind of pathology was detected. We suggest that continued efforts should be made to lower the age of detection of defects in vision.
