ABSTRACT
The initial monocular and binocular functions were observed to determine which of them have influence on visual outcome after treatment in children with amblyopia.
Children with refractive (90), anisometropic (112) and unilateral strabismic amblyopia (98) aged 5–8 y.o. were observed. Monocular(38) and binocular(6) functions before treatment and improvement of vision (Av) after treatment were evaluated with the program Statistics for Windows 98. Improvement of visual acuity (Av) after treatment depended on different initial factors: in refractive amblyopia on critical flicker fusion by phosphen(CFFph) of both eyes and threshold of stereoacuity (SA); in anisomrtropic on CFFph of sound eye and threshold of (SA) and in strabismic on degree of eccentricity of fixation in amblyopic eye, on CFFph and mesopic vision of the sound eye, Starlight test (Hirai et al. 1998) and positive (SA) by test Lang II.
Above mentioned indices allowed to establish quantity rates of expected results(Δv).
