Introduction: Amblyopia significantly contributes to low vision and blindness in adults an Indonesian rural setting. The treatment of amblyopia, particularly anisometropic and/or strabismic has long been challenging for many clinicians. This study aims report a promising result refractive correction, occlusion therapy, oral citicoline on mixed amblyopia with optic nerve hypoplasia adult patient...

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 amblyopia. This has led to new techniques for quantifying suppression that have provided insights into the relationship between suppression and the monocular and binocular visual deficits experienced by amblyopes. Furtherm...

Two macaque monkeys were reared with daily administration of the cycloplegic drug, atropine, to one eye until 8 months after birth. Behavioral testing of contrast sensitivity functions in the atropinized eyes during the rearing period demonstrated that this rearing procedure caused the treated eyes to be chronically defocused. Measurement at the age of 6 or 8 months of contrast sensitivity whil...

PURPOSE To compare the macular and nerve fiber layer thicknesses as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in amblyopic and fellow eyes. METHODS Fifty patients with monocular strabismic (n = 25) or anisometropic (n = 25) amblyopia (best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ranging from 20/40 to 20/400) were included in a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study. A refractive error more...

Objective: To compare corneal aberrations and densitometry values in children with amblyopia due to anisometropic hyperopia those of healthy children.
 Methods: This study included 173 hyperopic anisometropia one eye both eyes. The amblyopic (Group 1) the fellow normal 2) patients right control group 3) were evaluated. Of aberration (CD)measured using Scheimpflug topography noted.

There is growing evidence for deficits in motion perception in amblyopia, but these are rarely assessed clinically. In this prospective study we examined the effect of occlusion therapy on motion-defined form perception and multiple-object tracking. Participants included children (3-10years old) with unilateral anisometropic and/or strabismic amblyopia who were currently undergoing occlusion th...

DOS Times Vol. 11, No. 10 April, 2006 Amblyopia is defined as unilateral or bilateral decrease of visual acuity caused by vision deprivation or abnormal binocular interaction for which no organic causes can be detected by the physical examination of the eye and which in appropriate cases is reversible by therapeutic measures1,2,3. For detection purposes, on routine examination, amblyopia is def...

Amblyopia is an illness with reduced vision and a number of students are affected with this disease. To determine any association of amblyopia with educational activities, sport and social activities of students involved by amblyopia, this study was carried on. This study was conducted at Boali Hospital in Gazvin, Iran: A total of 110 patients 9 to 15 years (54.5% female and 45.5% male; mean ag...
