Straatsma syndrome: Satisfactory amblyopia treatment. Report of two cases.

Clinical Cases: The cases are presented on 2 female patients with Straatsma syndrome, with satisfactory treatment of amblyopia.

Discussion: The level of anisometropia and myelination of retinal nerve fibres were different in these two patients. However, both achieved 0.20 (logMAR) visual acuity with correction in both eyes following amblyopia treatment with ocular patching. Visual prognosis of amblyopia associated with myelination of retinal nerve fibres and anisometropia is poorer than anisometropic amblyopia without myelination. It is well known that the former is refractory to occlusive therapy. Despite having a poor prognosis, visual rehabilitation should be attempted. The two cases presented were successfully treated with eye-patching.
