title: [Progress in research of strabismus and amblyopia in China in the new century].
abstract: In the last 5 years, we witnessed the progress in the basic and clinical research of strabismus and amblyopia in China, which should be attributed to the effective leadership of the Chinese Ophthalmological Society and the efforts of all members of the professional team. We are glad to see the work of our researchers and clinical scientists in the studies on the molecular and neuronal mechanisms of amblyopia, visual developmental plasticity and functional brain imaging of amblyopia, in the studies on the extraocular muscle's pulley and in the studies on the diagnoses and therapies of strabismus and amblyopia, and furthermore, in epidemiological studies of strabismus and amblyopia. We expect more fruits and creative findings in this field in China in the next decade.
