PURPOSE To investigate the current status of myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus of preschoolers in Taiwan.METHODS The records of a vision screening performed in 2005 at 4 preschools by a tertiary referral medical center in Kaohsiung, Taiwan were reviewed. Cycloplegic refraction, visual acuity by F chart, stereopsis by Titmus and National Taiwan University tests, and ocular alignment were analyzed.RESULTS Most (97.7%) of the children (n = 618) were able to perform visual acuity testing. There was good correlation between die results of cycloplegic spherical equivalent obtained by autorefraction and by retinoscopy (r = 0.934, p < 0.001). The prevalence of amblyopia was about 5%. A trend was found between amblyopia morbidity and the 4 age groups when a single criterion ( best-corrected visual acuity
