ABSTRACT

Objective. To evaluate the stability of vision after treatment of strabismic amblyopia. Method. The result of the treatment followed in an historic cohort of patients with strabismic amblyopia is analyzed. Results. Seven of the patients had congenital esotropia: an seven had partially accommodative esotropia the other to had a variable non accommodative esotropia related to psychomotor retardation. The amblyopia therapy included: direct occlusion, atropine, and optical penalization. The pre treatment vision was 20/120 and the post treatment vision 20/50. After the 10 years of treatment nine preserved the vision obtained by the treatment and the other two patients lost 4 lines and 7 lines respectively. The mean age at the final treatment was 11.8 years. Conclusions. This paper show the stability at long term of vision after amblyopia treatment of children.
