Abstract
Younger age is an independent risk factor for poor visual acuity after open globe injuries. Since ocular trauma represents an acute interruption in the development of a previously normal visual axis, amblyopia may be a factor contributing to worse outcomes. We hypothesized that preventative therapy with patching, atropine, or spectacle correction for amblyogenic refractive error early in the postoperative period may lead to improved visual outcomes after open globe injury by potentially preventing or reducing the onset of the physiologic and anatomic changes associated with amblyopia.
