Successful persistent strabismic amblyopia treatment using active therapy as an adjuvant to occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A novel protocol to improve long-term results in the treatment of amblyopia was proposed. The protocol combines active home-based therapy through perceptual learning activities (Gabor patch, dichoptic stimulation, and random dot stereograms) with conventional visual therapy in the clinic as an adjunct to patching occlusion in subjects with patch-resistant amblyopia METHODS: Between 2018 and 2022, a group of patients received treatment for persistent strabismic and combined-mechanism amblyopia according to the novel treatment protocol, consisting of in-clinic orthoptics/visual therapy combined with the use of gamified PL software at home, as an adjunct to occlusion treatment.

Results

A retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes was subsequently carried out for 53 pa
