Abstract

The reponse of patients to treatment for amblyopia is considered in two age groups, 5–9 and 11–19 years. The percentage of patients who improved by two Snellen lines and the degree of improvement was better for the lower age range, but a significant number of the teenage patients improved. No greater success for anisometropic amblyopia was found compared to strabismic amblyopia, but the methods found to be effective differed between the types of amblyopia and the two age groups.
