Abstract

Amblyopia is one of the most common causes of vision loss in children. This paper shows the efficacy of cyclotherapy in facilitating plus acceptance to expedite the treatment of refractive amblyopia. Three cases of hyperopic amblyopia underwent cyclotherapy. Best corrected visual acuity improved by at least one visual acuity line after cycloplegic refraction for all three patients as compared to dry manifest refraction. After treatment with cyclotherapy, acuities were equal to the initial cycloplegic refraction at the first followup visit with full spectacle correction. The full plus acceptance allowed for quicker resolution of refraction correction in the treatment of amblyopia. The use of cyclotherapy is effective in facilitating plus acceptance in hyperopic amblyopic eyes, and it expedites the resolution of amblyopia.
