Abstract
In 48 children with cerebral palsy the characteristics of the squint and amblyopia were analyzed, also with respect to the features of cerebral palsy and to birth weight. Strabismus of congenital esotropia type was found to be common, as was also exotropia of early onset. Spontaneous alternation or an accommodative component of the squint was present only in a few cases. There was no evidence of an accumulation of any strabismus type in the different subgroups of cerebral palsy, whereas amblyopia or an obvious risk for amblyopia was found in the great majority of the cases. Some kind of amblyopia treatment was given to 34. Most of them showed improvement of the visual capacity which encourages treatment of amblyopia, even in children with cerebral palsy.Keywords
