The subjects of this study were 135 pupils of the Shanghai Blind Children's School. Congenital cataract led in the causes of blindness, optic atrophy came second, and microcornea and microphthalmus were third. Among the pupils 74 (54.8%) were totally blind, 56 (41.5%) were low-vision and 5 (371%) had vision of 0.3–0.4. A total of 83 pupils were considered to have usable residual vision for regular education with visual aids. Of the 83, 30 in 3 classes were followed up for two to four semesters, and teaching results were found to be good. None of the students’ conditions deteriorated during that period.
