General introduction
RAMSES
The Rotterdam AMblyopia Screening Effectiveness Study started in 1996 with the follow-up of a birth cohort of 4624 children in actual screening practice in the city of Rotterdam to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and effectiveness of the Dutch child vision screening program up to age of seven years. This study showed that preverbal screening contributed little to the detection of refractive amblyopia, while strabismic amblyopia was self-referred in approximately half of cases.30
