ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the characteristics of amblyopia in a group of strabismic patients in our environment in order to improve management. METHODS: A prospective study was carried out in the General Hospital, Douala, from July 1991 to July 2003. All strabismic patients had a complete ophthalmological examination including an oculomotor evaluation and skiascopy after cycloplegia. RESULTS: 330 patients were examined. The mean age at initial consultation was 13.97 years +/- 12.21. The prevalence of amblyopia was 80.46% in esotropia and 59.40% in exotropia. The precocity of strabismus, eccentric fixation, torticollis, presence of a vertical element and nystagmus were aggravating factors for amblyopia. CONCLUSION: In order to carry out early and coherent management of strabismus, it is important to train and inform all those who are involved in the care process.
