Factors affecting the benefit of glasses alone in treating childhood amblyopia: an analysis of PEDIG data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate factors associated with better outcomes from optical treatment alone in amblyopic children from 3 up to 7 years.

Methods

Data extracted from two studies with similar protocols, Amblyopic Treatment Studies 5 (n = 152) and 13 (n = 128) from the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group database, were used to determine by regression analysis the factors associated with improvements in visual acuity in the amblyopic eye, inter-ocular visual acuity difference and stereoacuity. Input variables were aetiology of amblyopia (anisometropic, strabismic and combined-mechanism amblyopia), treatment compliance, visual acuity, interocular visual acuity difference, stereoacuity, tropia size at distance and near, age and refractive error at baseline.
