A therapeutical intervention in 100 patients operated of strabismus, assisted in the Ophthalmology Department of the Southern Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from October, 2006 to the same period of 2013, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the homeopathic treatment in them. The affected ones were divided in 2 groups of 50 members each: the study group which received homeopathic treatment, and the control group, treated conventionally. There was no significant difference as for age and sex in both groups (p>0.5). After applying the therapies a marked effectiveness of the homeopathic treatment was obtained (96.0%) in relation to the conventional one, with a significant difference between both groups p <0.5

Keywords : strabismus; homeopathic remedy; therapeutic effectiveness; Ophthalmology department; secondary health care.
