01: Background Visual development is not complete at birth; taking 2+ years to fully develop Abnormalities, such as amblyopia and strabismus, can hinder development of three-dimensional sight There is not current standard practice to treat amblyopia and strabismus OBJECTIVE: To study the functional and anatomic (ocular alignment) outcomes of strabismus surgery before completion of amblyopia therapy as compared with surgery after completion of amblyopia therapy in children under seven years of age.
02: Types of studies No studies were identified that fit the inclusion criteria.
05: Conclusions There is a need for prospective RCTs to investigate strabismus surgery in the presence of strabismus amblyopia. The optimal timing of when to perform strabismus surgery in children with amblyopia is unknown.
