The present paper is concerned with a well-defined type of strabismus which represents, in our experience, an unsolved problem in this field, i.e. constant manifest strabismus of early onset (before the 3rd birthday). In all the patients examined (aged from 6 to 18 years) the visual acuity was good in both eyes (not less than 5/10 with the Monnoyer test chart) because the strabismus was alternating or because the amblyopia had been at least partly cured. The clinical examination was carried out in normal surroundings using Bagolini's striated glasses with the aid of a bar of red filters in the presence of deep suppression (Bagolini 1957, 1958). These glasses are transparent lenses superficially streaked on one surface so that a thin luminous line appears against a light source while the perception of the surroundings is unchanged (Fig. 1).
