“…30 Cases have been reported in the scientific literature of spontaneous visual improvement in the severely amblyopic eyes in adults following visual loss in the good eye. [31][32][33] Therefore, no patient should be denied amblyopia therapy because of his/her age.…”

: : To find out the level of visual improvement and the time it takes in amblyopia of any severity. : To find out whether the level of visual improvement is influenced by a patient's age at presentation. : To note whether the level of visual recovery is influenced by previous amblyopia therapy. To note any regression of visual acuity with time after initial improvement by therapy. To note complications of full-time occlusion therapy, especially occlusion amblyopia.: In a prospective interventional study, 1701 consecutive cases with poor vision were included irrespective of a patient’s age. After wearing refractive correction for 8-12 weeks and no further improvement in the BCVA, amblyopia therapy was started comprising of full-time patching of the good eye along with active use of the amblyopic eye by reading and writing at least 6 hours daily. Regular two weekly follow-ups were conducted. The endpoint of therapy was achieving a BCVA equal to that of the good eye. A regular post-patching follow-up was conducted for 1-3 years. Statistical analysis comparing the visual acuity at the start and the end of therapy was performed by a paired t-test for each group. : There were 896 male and 805 female cases. 1383 cases (81.3%) had previously failed amblyopia therapy. 49 cases (2.9%) dropped out of the study due to poor compliance with therapy or an incomplete follow-up. For a simplified analysis of results, the 1701 cases were divided into three age groups: Group A: age 4-7 years (473 cases), Group B: age 8-12 years (618 cases) and Group C: age 13-46 years (610 cases). The overall success in Group A and B cases was 98% and 96.9% in Group C cases. Full visual recovery is possible in amblyopia of any severity and age. The age of a patient at presentation should not preclude therapy.

peripheral mechanisms including still viable cells or removal of binocular inhibitory interactions along the visual pathway on the amblyopic side. Some aspects of vision in the amblyopic eye seem to be enhanced by the loss of binocularity as in the study by Resnick et al. 1 Another issue is that some of the nonarteritic ION patients gain 3 or more lines within 6 months of event. 6 I wonder whether the authors met such an improvement and any changes occurred in the amblyopic eyes during the course.
