Amblyopia screening in kindergartens with tno stereotest.

One hundred and fifty children between 3 and 6 years old were screened for amblyopia with TNO stereotest in their kindergartens. Thirty screening positive children were found of whom 3 were amblyopic with strabismus and no stereopsis. Re-testing showed that 19 children were false screening positive. Three children with refractive errors and equally impaired vision in both eyes were not detected. The test was found suitable for screening of monocular amblyopia in kindergartens, as it was easy to administrate and indicated all children with monocular amblyopia.
