We also compared combined results of an electronic visual acuity (EVA) tester and stereopsis testing to the results of a professional eye examination.
Methods: In this pilot study, all children were tested with an EyeSpy and ETDRS EVA tester, followed by ocular examination including stereopsis assessment and cyclopegic refraction.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of amblyopia treatment in children identified through a community photoscreening program.
Design: Case series.
Participants: We included 125 children diagnosed with amblyopia after referral from a photoscreening program.
