A Prospective Study of Treatment Outcomes for Amblyopia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular visual impairment in children and young- and middle-aged adults.1,2 Anisometropia, as the most frequent cause of amblyopia, has been evaluated in numerous studies.3- 5 However, prospective studies on treatment of amblopia are very few. Considering the limited studies , there is controversy over refractive correction, treatment outcomes, and whether underlying structural abnormalities are present,6- 12 and some even question the value of attempting treatment at all.13 The purpose of our study was to evaluate the response of treatment in different age group in form of visual outcome and to know the success rate of treatment in different types of amblyopia. The association of VA improvement with age, degree of anisometropia, level of patching compliance, presence of strabismus, and presence of eccentric fixation were also investigated.
