*520  $aThirty children suffering from the fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) were compared with 22 matched controls regarding malformations of the eyes and the visual function. All mothers to the FAS children had a documented abuse of alcohol during pregnancy. Defects of the outer eye region, or intraocular abnormalities, or both, were found in 27 FAS children (90 per cent). Anomalies of the outer region like ptosis and strabismus were frequently found in the FAS children but were not common in the controls. Abnormalities in the anterior segments and media were found in six eyes. Malformation of the fundus were the most frequently occuring abnormalities in the FAS children. Forty-eight per cent of the eyes showed hypoplasia of the optic nervehead and 49 per cent had an abnormal tortuosity of the retinal arteries. These variables were studied quantitatively by a new photogrammetric method. There were serious consequences to the vision of the FAS children. Nineteen per cent of the eyes has a visual acuity of 0.2 (20/100) or less, and 46 per cent had 0.3-0.6 (20/60-20/30). Almost all controls had normal vision.
