Description
Summary:AIM: To investigate the compliance of infants at different age undergoing two kinds of quantitative examinations for strabismus. <p>METHODS: Three hundred and ninety-two infants coming to our hospital for health examination were recruited and divided in to four groups according to the age. Each participant received two kinds of alternate prism cover test(APCT). Eye movement range and compliance rate was analyzed and compared between two methods and among four age groups.<p>RESULTS: More than 50% infants could cooperate with these two kinds of APCT. However, compliance rate for APCT with mobile animation video(85.2%)was significantly higher than that with classical APCT(58.7%), and the difference was statistically significant(<i>P</i><0.05). Among 155 infants over 19mo old, the eye movement range was close to that of adults. <p>CONCLUSION: Using mobile animation video as the target can significantly improve the compliance rate of quantitative examination of strabismus in infants from 4 to 36mo old.
