The following conditions are necessary for binocular sight:· anatomical and dioptrical integrity of the eye;· binocular visual field;· perfect coordinance between the retinas and their elements ( NRKK).Detection and diagnostics· hisrory of the occuence of the strabismus;· cover test;· motility test;· fixation test.Rehabilitation of Amblyopia· optical correction;· occlusion; with atropinisatio, with penalisation.· application of prisms;· practices on eutiscop, flash and coordinator.ResultsA group of 27 patients (0-10 years) with monocular or binocular hyper­metropia (> + 6,00 dsph) treated in our clinic at the ortooptic department was analyzed in the period 1990-95.The effects of the treatment were correlated to the main three parameter: Age, duration of the ortooptic treatment and the type of fixation before the treat­ment.In 48,14% (13 patients) the visual acuity obtained was 1,oo cc. In 29,62% (8 patients) the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye was 0,70 cc.The remaining 22,22% (6 patients) were with ex-centric fixation had the following results:· In 3 patients a visual acuity of the amblyopic eye of 6,00 cc. and the central fixation was obtained;· In 3 of those patients the results were not satisfactory.
