ABSTRACT We reported the results
of amblyopia treatment in 40 patients age 1 to 14 years (average 6.13 years).
There were 16 strabismic amblyopia, 7 amblyopia ex anopsia, and
17 an isometropic amblyopia. The treatment methods were: 1) direct occlusion, 2) direct
occlusion and CAM vision stimulator, and 3) direct occlusion, CAM vision stimulator and
active pleoptic. The VA after treatment improved with statistical significant in every
group. The mean pre-treatment VA was 20/200. The mean post-treatment VA was 20/40.
The mean follow up time was 14.5 months.
We suggest that the amblyopic
patients who are not responsed to conventional theray should be given other
treatment methods.
