Perinatal macular haemorrhage has been suggested as being a cause of amblyopia and strabismus. 39 of 48 children with macular haemorrhage after birth were examined at the age of 5 years. The study comprised visual acuity with E‐test types and cycloplegic refraction. Binocular function was evaluated by cover test, and 4d‐prism test. Fixation was studied by an ophthalmoscope with a central dark star. Sensory function was estimated by Schober test and Worth 4‐dot‐test. The observations gave no support to the existence of organic amblyopia or strabismus following perinatal macular haemorrhage.
