[Functional recovery in strabismus]

The paper enumerates the objectives of functional recovery in strabismus and the approaches to the achievement of these objectives. The goal in the treatment of the strabismus is obtaining a binocular sight with the remake of the divergence-convergence synergism. A three stage scheme for the treatment is made: 1st stage--the treatment of the amblyopia; 2nd stage--the correction of the strabismus deviation; 3rd stage--the recovery of the binocular sight. The conclusion is that the healing of the strabismus with "restitutio ad integrum" is a distant desire.
