Vision screening in children is an ongoing process, with components that should occur at each well-child visit. The purpose is to detect risk factors and visual abnormalities that necessitate treatment and to identify those patients who require referral to an ophthalmologist skilled in examining children. Screening can reveal conditions commonly treated in primary care and can aid in discussion...

(1) Background: Amblyopia is an ocular condition leading to structural and functional changes. The relationship between these changes complex remains poorly understood. (2) Methods: Participants included 31 children aged 5 9 years with strabismic (n = 9), anisometropic 16) mixed 6) unilateral amblyopia, 14 age-matched non-amblyopic children. 95% 63% Bivariate Contour Ellipse Area (BCEA), axial ...

Amblyopia is a common visual impairment that develops during the early years of postnatal life. It emerges as sequela to eye misalignment, an imbalanced refractive state, or obstruction form vision. All these conditions prevent normal vision and derail typical development neural connections within system. Among subtypes amblyopia, most debilitating recalcitrant treatment deprivation amblyopia. ...

purpose: to determine the screening prevalence of amblyopia, refractive errors and strabismus among 7 to 12 year-old primary school children, tehran, iran, in 2013. methods: this population based cross sectional study was performed on randomly selected 2410 students from 40 primary schools. visual acuity was measured using yang vision tester snellen e-optotype. if visual acuity was ≤20/40, the ...

Background—The Early vs Late Infantile Strabismus Surgery Study Group investigates whether early or late surgery is preferable in infantile convergent strabismus, in a non-randomised, prospective, multicentre clinical trial. The current state of the study after end of recruitment is reported here, focusing on the question of possible sources for bias in this nonrandomised trial. Method—The prog...

Amblyopia, or ‘lazy eye’, is currently treated by wearing an adhesive patch over the nonamblyopic eye for several hours per day, over a period of many months. Non-compliance with patch wearing is a significant problem. Our multi-displinary team involved clinicians and technologists to investigate the application of VR technology in a novel way. We devised a binocular treatment system in which c...

introduction: the purpose of our study was to evaluate the frequency of behavioral problem in pre school-aged children with visual problem. methods: in this expost facto study, which was selected via convenient sampling , 143 children ranging in age from 3-6 years that refer to optometry clinic for routine eye examination were evaluated . after complete ocular exams including evaluation of visu...

background: amblyopia is considered as one of the most prevalent vision problems in pediatrics age (1-5%). recently, new methods in amblyopia treatment were reported in amblyopia treatment study (ats’).the objective of this study was to recognize amblyopia treatment knowledge of iranian ophthalmologists and optometrists which are responsible for amblyopia treatment in our and other countries. m...

. to investigate the effect of anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia on the nerve fiber layer thickness. this cross-sectional study was done on 54 amblyopic subjects, equally in both strabismic and anisometropic groups. the thickness otonerve fiber layer measured in superior, inferior, nasal, temporal quadrants and as a whole in both eyes of both groups. the means of thickness were compared in...
