Abstract
Our clinical study was conducted along one year on the patients
attended the out patient clinic of the hospital with the age from 5 to 17
years . Of 60 children included in the study, 29 were girls and 31 were
boys. They were treated by different methods of amblyopic therapy
after treating the cause of amblyopia and follow up visits to reassure
the improvement of visual acuity.
Regarding the result: Regarding the total result: 32 cases were
improved (53%) , 28 cases were failed (46.6 %).
18 cases improve <2 line snellen chart (30%) ,14 cases
improve ≥2 line snellen chart(23.3%).
Regarding the methods, 10 patients were treated by treating
the cause and L dopa tablet : all were failed (100%).
10 patients were treated by treating the cause and Liquid
crystalline glass : 5 cases were improved (50%) , 5 cases were failed
(50%).
10 patients were treated by treating the cause and patching : 8
cases were improved ( 80%), 2 were failed (20%).
12 cases were treated by treating the cause and L dopa tablet
and patching : 11 cases were improved (91.7%), one case was failed
(8.3%).
8 cases of bilateral amblyopia treated by optical correction and
alternative patching : 7 were improved (87.5%) ,one case was failed
(12.5%).
10 patients were treated by treating the cause and
penalization (8 cases by atropine penalization and 2 cases by optical
penalization) : only one was improved (10%), 9 were failed (90%).
Patching is still the most common methods in treatment of
amblyopia. Penalization is old method,penalization by atropine drops
is not satisfied by the children or their parent. Pharmacological
treatment by Levo Dopa tablet is new treatment , some research did it
and was succeed but in our study it was failed . Liquid Crystalline
glass is a new treatment but has high cost and need a good
compliant child and a co- operative family.
Different factor is important in the treatment: age and
compliance of the child ,grade and type of amblyopia. Age factor is
very important ,children in preschool age; give a better result than
olders. Compliance factor is very important,children with good
compliance give a better result than those of poor compliane. Grade of
amblyopia is very important,mild amblyopia give a better results than
sever amblyopia. Anisometropic amblyopia give a better result than
strabismic amblyopia. Anisometropic myopic amblyopia give a better
result than anisometropic hypermetropic amblyopia.
