 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 6 MTI photographic screening instrument related factors in young children with low vision screening role of [Abstract] Objective To investigate the MTI risk factors for amblyopia screening instrument as a positive rate of screening and for the feasibility of large-scale census. Methods in October 2005 ~ May 2006, come to my hospital doctor suspected refractive errors of 415 cases of infants and young children to MTI screening, further routine eye examination. Results MTI right strabismus, anisometropia, refractive detection of interstitial opacities rate was 100%, and the detection rate of myopia was 68%, and the detection rate of high hyperopia 76.31%, astigmatism detection rate of 85.16 %. Conclusion MTI can be used for very young children the risk factors of amblyopia screening and large-scale census; recommended that the census during the process of astigmatism and hyperopia screening criteria be relaxed to 1 mm; the screening criteria will be short-sighted, be extended to those who see the moon shadow in the pupil on the side or the left side of the photo, are defined as short-sighted. [Keywords:] photographic screening instrument; refractive errors; amblyopia Amblyopia is more common childhood eye disease, the incidence rate of around 3%. Amblyopia occurs only in the visual is not yet mature infants and early childhood. The critical period of visual development (3 years ago) and sensitive period (6 to 8 years old), is the fastest period of visual development, but also vision in the subjected to abnormal environmental stimuli most likely to produce permanent damage period. Thus, in the visual development within the critical period and sensitive period, timely correction of refractive errors, anisometropia, strabismus, and removal of visual deprivation factor is the fundamental way to prevent amblyopia occurs. Pediatric and ophthalmologists should be a very strong awareness of the prevention of amblyopia occurs, observe whether i
