Abstract

It was performed a descriptive- retrospective study at Ricardo Rodriguez Morales visual rehabilitation school in Manzanillo city, (September 2005- September 2008) with the objective to show the results of orthoptic and pleoptics treatment in patients with amblyopia and strabism visual rehabilitation. There were checked the health histories and there were taken some variables like: age, sex, ocular familiar pathological antecedents, initial and final visual acuteness with glasses. The patients were classified within these concepts. Pure strabismic, strabismic-amblyopic and amblyopic.There were used pleoptics, orthoptic and pleorthoptic treatments, ages from 5 to 6 tears and female sex prevailed. The most ocular familiar pathological antecedents were strabismus and myopia. The final visual sharpness got outstandingly better. The amblyopia was the most important diagnosis and the most applied treatment was pleoptics. When the ophthalmologic searching was made at children’s day care and primary schools, children are early rehabilitation.
