The results of non-operative treatment of 100 cases of convergent strabismus, 75 with macular and 25 with eccentric fixation are presented. Two kinds of prismatic correction were applied: hyper-correction with alternative obturation and correction, exactly compensating the squint angle. The aim of the former one was to decrease the squint angle and help the eyes to be in prismatic orthotropy. The latter prisms enabled permanent symmetrical stimulation of the retina which lead to the development of normal binocular vision. The duration of the treatment was 3-10 years. In all patients, parallel position of the eyes, normal binocular vision and improvement of visual acuity were achieved.

The diminution of the angles of squint is attained by localization exercises with hypercorrecting prisms and the straightening out of the angles by surgical procedures. The authors ++ analyzed the efficacy of the conservative and of the surgical treatment in the reduction of the deviation of the eyes in various groups of children in a different stage of cure. They stated that the best effect in the reduction of the squint may be achieved in the group of children with a good binocular vision (the group of almost full recovery) and the poorest effect--in the group of children without binocular vision.
