  • Family history of strabismus or amblyopia is a critical consideration for children aged two to four.
  • A comprehensive eye exam with cycloplegic refraction at age four is ideal for early detection of refractive errors.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early detection of amblyopia by pediatricians is vital for successful treatment.
    • Systematic age-appropriate eye screening can prevent long-term vision impairment.
    • Referral for a complete eye examination, including refraction, is recommended for optimal child eye health.
