Successful Amblyopia Therapy Initiated After Age 7 Years
2016
Methods: A consecutive series of 36 compliant children older than 7 years (range, 7.0 to 10.3 years; mean, 8.2 years) at initiation of amblyopia therapy for anisometropic (19 patients; mean age, 8.3 years), strabismic (9 patients; mean age, 8.0 years), or anisometropic and strabismic (8 patients; mean age, 8.0 years) amblyopia was studied. Initial (worst) visual acuities were between 20/50 and 20/400 (log geometric mean, ‐0.83 [antilog, 20/134] for all patients; ˛0.88 [antilog, 20/151] for anisometropic patients; ˛0.70 [antilog, 20/100] for strabismic patients; and ‐0.88 [antilog, 20/151] for anisometropic and strabismic patients). Initial (worst) binocularity was absent or reduced in all cases. Therapy
