An experimental group of 142 children aged four years who had experienced neonatal at risk factors and a control group of 112 children whose perinatal histories were optimal had vision screening tests to detect defective vision or strabismus. Five (3.5 percent) in the at risk group and 10 (8.9 percent) in the control group (total 15, 5.9 percent) were found to have a visual defect. Of those, six had already been identified because of a manifest squint. Nine children with defective vision were first identified through the study. The importance of the early identification and treatment of visual disorders, particularly amblyopia, is emphasised, and recommendations are made for more widespread vision screening of preschool children.
一个由142名曾经历新生儿期危险因素的4岁儿童组成的实验组，以及一个由112名围产期病史良好的儿童组成的对照组，都接受了视力筛查测试，以检测视力缺陷或斜视。高危组中有5名儿童（3.5%），对照组中有10名儿童（8.9%）（总计15名，5.9%）被发现有视力缺陷。其中，有6名儿童因明显斜视已被确诊。9名视力缺陷儿童是通过该研究首次被发现的。强调了早期识别和治疗视力障碍，尤其是弱视的重要性，并就更广泛地对学龄前儿童进行视力筛查提出了建议。
