Baseline and outcome stereoacuity of children with anisometropic amblyopia undergoing dichoptic amblyopia treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One rationale for dichoptic amblyopia therapy is that it may promote recovery of binocular function. Yet data on binocular outcomes in anisometropic amblyopia following dichoptic therapy are sparse. We report factors associated with pre- and post-treatment binocular function in anisometropic amblyopia, and examine binocular function in children who recover normal visual acuity compared to those with residual amblyopia.

Methods

Baseline and outcome stereoacuity and binocular function (BF) scores were pooled across 185 children (3-12 years of age) with anisometropic amblyopia who participated in one of eight clinical trials of contrast-rebalanced dichoptic amblyopia treatment conducted at a single site. Associations of baseline variables (visual acuity, suppression,
