At age seven, visual acuity (VA) of children still living in Rotterdam was assessed by study orthoptists. In case of VA &gt; 0.1 logMAR in one or both eyes, two or more logMAR lines of interocular difference or eye disorders like strabismus, children underwent a more intensive eye examination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Attendance at the 9-month screening was 89%, decreasing to about 75% at later examinations. Of preverbal tests, 2.5% were positive, and of preschool tests, 10%. In total, 19% of children had a positive vision screening test at least once. Amblyopia prevalence was 3.4%. Sensitivity of the vision screening programme was 73% and specificity 83%. At age seven, 0.7\u20131.2% (confirmed vs final exam) of the children had a VA &gt; 0.3 logMAR in the worse eye compared with 2\u20133.9% (in literature) reported prevalence in non-screening situations.
