Five children, previously treated for capillary haemangiomas of the eyelid and orbit, have been examinated concerning the functional and cosmetic results of the treatment. Different principles of treatment have been applied (surgical, X‐irradiation and systemic corticosteroid). All the children developed amblyopia in varying degrees in the affected eye, dependent on the localization of the tumour and duration of eyelid occlusion. They also developed persisted corneal astigmatism. The results of refraction, oculometric measurement and CT‐scan are compared and discussed. From the results of the follow‐up examination and the literature on the subject, we have attempted to give guidelines for the treatment of children with eyelid and orbital capillary haemangiomas.
