The method of treatment cessation and recurrence rate of amblyopia.

Background And Purpose: To date, much of the research regarding amblyopia has been focused on which therapeutic modality is the most efficacious in amblyopia management. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research into which method of treatment cessation is the most appropriate once therapy has been completed. The purpose of this study is to investigate if the cessation method affects the recurrence rate of amblyopia.

Stability of visual acuity after the cessation of amblyopia treatment: review of the literature.

Introduction And Purpose: The treatment of amblyopia in children is frequently discussed in the literature. Less attention, however, has been given to the durability of the visual acuity results attained with therapy. The objective of this review is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the existing literature, on the stability of visual acuity following cessation of amblyopia treatment, and to identify any gaps in the literature, which could guide future investigations.
