Purpose.: New behavioral treatment methods, including dichoptic training, perceptual
learning, and video gaming, have been proposed to improve visual function in adult …

Purpose The purpose of this review is to provide an update on current management and
recent research for amblyopia treatment. Part I will review patching, atropine penalization …

Previous studies have employed different experimental approaches to enhance visual
function in adults with amblyopia including perceptual learning, videogame play, and …

Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular visual impairment. Patching, which is
modestly effective, is the current treatment of amblyopia in children. There is no clinically …

Amblyopia is a deficit in vision that arises from abnormal visual experience early in life. It
was long thought to develop into a permanent deficit, unless properly treated before the end …

Background The gold standard treatments in amblyopia are penalizing therapies, such as
patching or blurring vision with atropine that are aimed at forcing the use of the amblyopic …

Active vision therapy using perceptual learning and/or dichoptic or binocular environments
has shown its potential effectiveness in amblyopia, but some doubts remain about the type …

Recent work has transformed our ideas about the neural mechanisms, behavioral
consequences and effective therapies for amblyopia. Since the 1700′ s, the clinical …

Background Despite evidence that amblyopia can often be treated by optical treatment
alone, many practitioners still do not use an optical‐correction‐only phase in amblyopia …
