title: Binocular function and amblyopia after early surgery in infantile eosotropia.
abstract: We report on binocular function and amblyopia in children who had surgery for infantile eosotropia in the first 24 months of life. Fourteen (56%) achieved peripheral fusion and no child obtained high grade stereopsis. Following surgery and treatment for amblyopia 20% remained amblyopic.
