Purpose: To compare the effect of daily occlusion of the sound eye for two hours, without and with near vision exercises, versus six hours without near vision exercises, for the management of strabismic amblyopia and to determine the different factors affecting compliance to each treatment regimen. Methods: Forty five children having unilateral strabismic amblyopia were divided equally into 3 groups. Group A received 2-hour daily occlusion. Group B received 2-hour occlusion combined with near vision exercises. Group C received 6-hour occlusion therapy. Patients were followed up for 6 months. Results: The mean logMAR improvement was -1.03+/-0.57, -0.63+/-0.66 and -0.65+/-0.66, for groups A, B and C, respectively. The difference in mean logMAR improvement was significant (P < .001) in groups A versus B and A versus C, but.. View More»
