Abstract
Binocular View to Pathogenesis of Amblyopia
Highlights
Binocular View to Pathogenesis of AmblyopiaVisual dysfunction in amblyopia is often associated with the emergence of severe suppression when looking with both eyes
Amblyopia is a postnatal violation of a development of the visual cortex due to abnormal visual experience during the critical period in infancy or early childhood and leads to the chronic insufficiency of cortical processes, even after the elimination of the amblyogenic factor [1,2].Amblyopia affects 3-5% of the population [3]
Conclusion a) objective evidence has been accumulated that amblyopia is a binocular pathology
Summary
Visual dysfunction in amblyopia is often associated with the emergence of severe suppression when looking with both eyes. The quantification of suppression is a critically important step for the development of new therapies for amblyopia based on the global perception of movement associated with the function of the dorsal extrastriate visual cortex. This conceptually new understanding of amblyopia becomes the basis for carrying out a large volume of diverse studies that provide the development of more effective therapies that will primarily focus on eliminating suppression and restoring binocular vision
