In children, refractive errors and amblyopia are the two most common causes of avoidable visual impairment. Screening for these is essential, especially since there is a so called "sensitive" period during which the maturation of the visual pathways is not complete. The child's visual prognosis will therefore depend on his or her age, the duration of the visual deprivation and the timing of management. Visual screening is part of a public health approach, but there are significant regional disparities regarding its organization and the means used. We conducted a review of the literature in order to establish an inventory of available resources and improve practices. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
