Multi-modality Optometric Treatment of Deep Amblyopia Secondary to Micro-esotropia and Anisometropia
Background: Amblyopia is a reduction in visual acuity that often involves reduction in visual skills such as ocular motility and accommodation. Various treatment modalities for amblyopia include spectacle correction, patching, atropine, and optometric vision therapy (OVT). Clinically, OVT often reduces the severity of amblyopia. There is also considerable anecdotal evidence that improvement in ...

Objectives: To assess the relationship between visual rehabilitation with the quality of life and visual status in children who had been diagnosed with amblyopia in the national amblyopia screening program. Methods: Information was gathered from optometric centers in the cities of Nowshahr, Chalus, and Kelardasht, or in case it was not available, from parents of participating children. The KIN...
متن کاملTreating the Trinity of Infantile Vision Development: Infantile Esotropia, Amblyopia, Anisometropia
The optometric literature has begun to emphasize pediatric vision and vision development with the advent and prominence of the InfantSEETM program and recently published research articles on amblyopia, strabismus, emmetropization and the development of refractive errors. There are three conditions with which clinicians should be familiar. These three conditions include: esotropia, high refracti...
متن کاملOptometric Management of Persistent Diplopia Status Post Scleral Buckle Surgery: Two Case Studies
Background: A scleral buckling procedure repairs retinal detachments by indenting the sclera under the retinal breaks. One of the complications is diplopia, which typically subsides once the muscle heals. Persistent diplopia lasting longer than three to six months is reported in 0.5% 25% of patients. Case Reports: The cases presented demonstrate the use of optometric vision therapy and/or prism...
