    Abstract:
    The authors study 202 strabismus cases and evaluate the strabismic epidemiology of Tunisia: 58% of squint children have amblyopia. The low vision is important, and getting worse with age. The treatment is simple, consisting of occlusion of the good eye, but it become longer and more difficult after six years. The best results are obtained in the first four years. Good cooperation from the parents is required. The authors insist on the necessity of early detection through testing, the prevention of recurrence and, above all, on preventing the advent of amblyopia as soon as strabismus appears.
