Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular visual loss in children, affecting 1.3%–
3.6% of children. Current treatments are effective in reducing the visual acuity deficit but …

Amblyopia is a neuro-developmental disorder of the visual cortex that arises from abnormal
visual experience early in life. Amblyopia is clinically important because it is a major cause …

Amblyopia is a unilateral or, less often, bilateral reduction of best-corrected visual acuity
(BCVA) that usually occurs in the setting of an otherwise normal eye. It is a developmental …

There is growing evidence that abnormal binocular interactions play a key role in amblyopia.
In particular, stronger suppression of the amblyopic eye has been associated with poorer …

Recent work has transformed our ideas about the neural mechanisms, behavioral
consequences and effective therapies for amblyopia. Since the 1700′ s, the clinical …

Importance Fellow eye patching has long been the standard treatment for amblyopia, but it
does not always restore 20/20 vision or teach the eyes to work together. Amblyopia can be …

Importance A binocular approach to treating anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia has
recently been advocated. Initial studies have yielded promising results, suggesting that a …

Background Recent experimental evidence supports a role for binocular visual experience
in the treatment of amblyopia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether repeated …

Purpose The purpose of this review is to provide an update on current management and
recent research for amblyopia treatment. Part I will review patching, atropine penalization …

The amblyopic visual system was once considered to be structurally monocular. However, it
now evident that the capacity for binocular vision is present in many observers with …
