title: [Amblyopia due to ametropia].
abstract: The cause of amblyopia by ametropia is evaluated, hypoaccommodation plays an important role and also astigmatism. The treatment of hypermetropia by full spectacle correction is contested and the tests used to detect amblyopia and hypoaccommodation are described. The use of videorefraction and photoscreening is important in the follow-up of our patients.
