Anisometropic Amblyopia: Nonsurgical Treatment
Anisometropic amblyopia is characterized by a decrease in best corrected visual acuity in one eye as a result of significantly different refractive errors between the two eyes. The eye that ultimately provides a more blurred image to the visual cortex develops amblyopia.1 Several authors have suggested that anisometropia is the leading cause of amblyopia and is responsible for approximately 50%...
متن کاملTreatment dose-response in amblyopia therapy: the Monitored Occlusion Treatment of Amblyopia Study (MOTAS).
PURPOSE Amblyopia is the commonest visual disorder of childhood. Yet the contributions of the two principal treatments (spectacle wear and occlusion) to outcome are unknown. This study was undertaken to investigate the dose-response relationship of amblyopia therapy.

The American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that clinicians routinely perform age-appropriate vision chart testing, red reflex testing, and examination for signs of strabismus....
متن کاملThe course of moderate amblyopia treated with atropine in children: experience of the amblyopia treatment study.
PURPOSE To assess the course of the response to atropine treatment of moderate amblyopia and to assess factors predictive of the treatment response in children 3 years old to younger than 7 years old. DESIGN Multicenter, randomized clinical trial comparing atropine and patching (one of the amblyopia treatment studies). METHODS A total of 195 children 3 years old to younger than 7 years of a...
متن کاملAmblyopia.
Amblyopia, a decrease in visual acuity, is a major public health problem with a prevalence of 1 to 4 percent in the United States. It is thought to develop early in life during the critical period of visual development. Early recognition of amblyogenic risk factors such as strabismus, refractive errors, and anatomic obstructions can facilitate early treatment and increase the chance for recover...
