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 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 …

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of amblyopia in children aged 7 to 17
years. Methods At 49 clinical sites, 507 patients with amblyopic eye visual acuity ranging …

Results from recent randomised clinical trials in amblyopia should change our approach to
screening for and treatment of amblyopia. Based on the current evidence, if one screening …

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

Amblyopia is a developmental abnormality that results from physiological alterations in the
visual cortex and impairs form vision. It is a consequence of abnormal binocular visual …

OBJECTIVE: To compare full-time patching (all hours or all but 1 hour per day) to 6 hours of
patching per day, as prescribed treatments for severe amblyopia in children younger than 7 …
