Abstract:
The paper presents a survey done in the Ophthalmological Clinic of Cluj on 140 children, 3 years old, for which the "Baby Vision" was applied. The examination consisted of strabismic angle determination, alternance estimation, visual acuity, stereoscopy, optokinetic nystagmus, refraction and eye fundus investigation. The results, particularities and difficulties in the examination and treatment of those little children are summarized.
