Abstract: Present medical care is not sufficient for early detection and treatment of strabismus in at-risk children. Our results suggest that the optimal screening age for early detection of persistent strabismus in VLBW children is at 9 months of age. Because strabismus can also develop after this age, it is important to repeat examination of visual functions in at risk-children at regular intervals after 1 year of age.
