The treatment of 83 cases (118 eyes) of amblyopia is reported 93 eyes were followed up more than one month

among them

the visual acuity was improved beyound 3 lines or up to 1.0 in 56 eyes (60%) . The others (26 eyes) had less than one month follow up.There is significant relation between the acuity improvement and the age of initial treatment. The younger the patient is

the more rapid the improvement in visual acuity will be. If the patients begin treating before the age of 5

the acuity improvement is better than that begin treating after 5 years old.The effect of treatment on unfoveal fixation eyes is not certainly worse than the foveal fixation eyes. The most eyes transform the unfoveal fixation into the foveal fixation

when the visual acuity is improved.Regular follow up

strict occlusion of the sound eye and compelling the amblyopia eye to see are the treatment principles for the amblyopia. In addition

wearing a pair of suitable glases and checking the degress of lens regularly should not be ingored.In order to prevent the visual acuity decreasing again

the time of treatment and follow up would persist 2 years at least.
