title: [Amblyopia, a public health problem].
abstract: Amblyopia or the alteration of the visual function is a common and disabling condition which takes various forms. Screening is carried out during a baby's first week of life and then at regular intervals during early childhood. It is a public health issue insofar as the disorders are curable and treatment is effective when they are detected early.
