Abstract
Purpose. Description of various clinical forms of amblyopia and the effectiveness of their treatment in children. Material and methods. 242 children from 3 to 18 years old were examined: 110 boys (45.5%) and 132 girls (54.5%). The scope of visual examinations included the following: visometry (Tomey TCP-1000 LED), autorefractometry (Tomey TR-4000), keratometry (Pentacam), determination of the nature of visual fixation (HEINEBETA 200S manual ophthalmoscope). Results and conclusion. The approaches to treatment, depending on the underlying pathology, can be functional, surgical and combined. Functional treatment is indicated for amblyopia associated with concomitant strabismus (especially monolateral) and ametropia without improvement in correction. Surgery is very effective in relieving obscuration amblyopia (cataract extraction with IOL implantation, keratoconus with crosslinking). Key words: amblyopia, ametropia, pleoptics, orthoptics, obscuration.
