812 visually handicapped children aged 7-21 years and educated by black print are investigated with regard to the degree and cause of visual impairment. The rate of visually handicapped children amounted to around 0.7 o/oo, boys being more frequently afflicted than girls. The causes were most often prenatal; 30% of genetic origin, 15% caused by pre- or perinatal damage and 40% of prenatal origin which could not be specified. Some of the more common clinical entities are discussed. The importance of preventing an additional functional amblyopia in the visually handicapped child is stressed.
