ABSTRACT

An observational, descriptive and longitudinal study was carried out from September 2007 to June 2009 in 33 schoolchildren with amblyopia, belonging to "Josué País García" special school of Santiago de Cuba, in order to describe the results of the rehabilitation treatment. These children were classified according to the degree of corrected visual acuity and cause of the disease. Visuscopy was performed in them before and after treatment, besides cortical visual evoked potential. Age group of 4 - 6 years, the female sex and strabic amblyopia prevailed in the case material. Visual acuity improved significantly after rehabilitation treatment and 9.0% of patients did not recover. It is recommended to design a health program aimed at medical staff of primary care for prevention and treatment of these patients, and to conduct educational activities with parents on this important health issue.
