The most common reason for the reduction of visual acuity in childhood is a refractive error. If it is not corrected primarily at the preschool

age, amblyopia can occur. Amblyopia is irreversible functional impairment of central visual perception. Correction of visual defects is

performed by glasses or contact lenses in indicated cases. Laser refractive surgery is increasingly applying in correction of high anizometropia

(refractive diference between right and left eye). It follows strict indication. Refraction in childhood can change quickly, so

regular checks are necessary. Examination of refraction is therefore an essential part of every eye examination in the pediatric patient.

Keywords: refractive error, ametropia, anisometropia, laser refractive surgery
