Authors' objectives:

A report What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of screening programmes for amblyopia and squint in children up to the ages of 4-5 years was commissioned by the HTA Programme in 2005 for publication in 2007 and coincidentally a systematic review in broadly the same field was commissioned by IQWiG in Germany.

This report contains a comparison and discussion of the methods, findings, adaptability and decisions resulting from these two reviews undertaken in the UK and Germany.

Authors' recommendations: This report is now complete. However, it has not been peer reviewed and has not been published as part of the Health Technology Assessment journal series. A copy can be accessed from the HTA website for information.
