Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated three treatments for amblyopia in children, comparing two methods that included patching with active vision therapy and one method that used patching alone.
- Results showed significant improvement in visual acuity (VA) and stereoacuity (STA) for the groups that combined patching with vision therapy or monocular perceptual learning, while patching alone was the least effective.
