title: [Diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia].
abstract: The word amblyopia means weak vision on a functional basis. The most important form is strabismic amblyopia. Its diagnosis is easy in cases of obvious unilateral strabismus; in cases with slight squint angles this may be difficult. The most important treatment is carefully controlled occlusion of the dominant eye.
