Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of vision, commonly caused by strabismus or anisometropia during early childhood. While studies demonstrated that perceptual learning improves visual acuity and stereopsis in adults with amblyopia, accompanying changes in visual cortical function remain unclear. We measured functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) responses before and after perceptual learning in seven adults with amblyopia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess fine motor skills and reading proficiency in adults with amblyopia and/or strabismus, and to determine how these relate to clinical measures of vision and self-reported vision-related quality of life.
Methods: Fine motor skills (Manual dexterity - Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency [BOT-2]) and reading performance (International Reading Speed Texts [IReST]) were assessed in 23 adults with non-strabismic amblyopia, 20 with non-amblyopic strabismus, 52 with both amblyopia and strabismus, and 19 with normal visual development. Visual acuity and binocular function score (BFS), obtained from stereoacuity and presence/absence of suppression, were also determined.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find out what clinical and sociodemographic factors affect the success of amblyopia (lazy eye) treatment in children.
- It analyzed data from 168 children who were diagnosed and treated for amblyopia between 2012 and 2022, focusing on whether their condition improved or persisted.
- The findings revealed that younger age at diagnosis, higher income, and being a native English speaker were linked to better treatment outcomes, while factors like being on government insurance showed a potential connection to poorer outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of increased screen time on vision-related disorders among optometrists after the COVID-19 lockdown, focusing on fusional vergence and ocular accommodation.
- It included 65 optometrists who underwent comprehensive assessments, revealing that a significant majority exhibited non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies.
- The findings emphasize the need for regular vision assessments for eye care professionals to prevent potential work productivity issues and maintain quality of care.
