Amblyopia is a deficit in vision that arises from abnormal visual experience early in life. It
was long thought to develop into a permanent deficit, unless properly treated before the end …

Previous studies have employed different experimental approaches to enhance visual
function in adults with amblyopia including perceptual learning, videogame play, and …

Abnormal visual experience during a sensitive period of development disrupts neuronal
circuitry in the visual cortex and results in abnormal spatial vision or amblyopia. Here we …

Background Amblyopia is the most common developmental vision disorder in children. The
initial treatment consists of refractive correction. When insufficient, occlusion therapy may …

Amblyopia is a condition involving reduced acuity caused by abnormal visual input during a
critical period beginning shortly after birth. Amblyopia is typically considered to be …

The gold-standard treatment for childhood amblyopia remains patching or penalizing the
fellow eye, resulting in an average of about a one line (0.1 logMAR) improvement in visual …

treat amblyopia beyond the critical period of visual development? Ophthalmic Physiol Opt …

Perceptual learning of visual tasks is emerging as a promising treatment for amblyopia, a
developmental disorder of vision characterized by poor monocular visual acuity. The tasks …

Amblyopia is a common visual disorder that results in a spatial acuity deficit in the affected
eye. Orthodox treatment is to occlude the unaffected eye for lengthy periods, largely …

Amblyopia is a neurological disorder of binocular vision affecting up to 3% of the population
resulting from a disrupted period of early visual development. Recently, it has been shown …
