title: [Treatment of infantile strabismus with eye movement disorders].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Possibilities of application of localization method in the treatment of infantile strabismus in a very early period are presented.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors applied treatment with hypercorrective and compensating prisms in 17 children with infantile strabismus. The age of the children ranged from 0.5 to 5 years, mean age-1 year. All children were found to have no motility or limited motility of eyes toward the temples. Initially, the children's eyes were alternately occluded in prisms whose strength prevalently was 30-40 pr dptr before each eye, with base toward the temple. After 1-3 months motility of the eyes appeared. Next, glasses compensating the squint angle were worn, without covering the eyes, starting with 1/2 hour 3 times a day and gradually prolonging the wearing time. Hypercorrective prisms were further used with alternate occlusion of the eyes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In all children partial or complete correction of motility was achieved. Further treatment of strabismus followed the rules of the localization method.
