Abstract
Abstract The therapeutic results of 48 children treated for amblyopia were analysed in respect to the ophthalmological background factors, the way of referral to the ophthalmological care, including the role of screening procedures, compliance at previous therepeutic efforts and the age at diagnosis. An improvement of visual acuity by two Snellen lines or more was noted in 31 eyes (65%). There was a tendency towards a less favourable outcome in eyes with both strabismus and anisometropia compared with those with either of these background factors of amblyopia. The mode of referral did not seem to predict the outcome of treatment, nor had the age at diagnosis (inside the range of 1 to 7 years) any clear predestinating significance for the outcome of therapy. Good compliance at previous therepeutic efforts almost reached statistical significance as a predictor of successfulness of therapy.
