“…In humans, a recent multicenter clinical trial found that adolescents near or past puberty (13-17 yr old) who were previously not treated for amblyopia can benefit from a regimen of reverse occlusion (Scheiman et al 2005). Additionally, smaller case studies have long suggested that adult amblyopic patients can improve their acuity by visual training (Levi and Polat 1996;Polat et al 2004;Levi 2005) or occlusion therapy (Selenow and Ciuffreda 1986;Saulles 1987;Rutstein and Fuhr 1992;Wick et al 1992;Park et al 2004). In cats, behavioral studies by Mitchell (1988) documented significant, though incomplete, recovery of vision in adulthood following deprivation from eye opening.…”

“…Since Kupfer's study, there have been many reports of improvement in acuity of older people with amblyopia (e.g. Birnbaum et al 1977;Wick et al 1992). A case report showed that occlusion therapy appeared to improve not only visual acuity, but also position acuity in an adult strabismic amblyope.…”

“…Há indícios de que há melhora da acuidade visual e função binocular nos pacientes submetidos a tratamento oclusivo, sendo que o índice de sucesso varia com a idade do início da terapia, desde que o paciente tenha boa adesão e que seja monitorizado a longo prazo (7) .…”

“…Em outros casos, como lesão macular ou anomalia de nervo óptico, o prognóstico é pior. Entretanto, no momento, não há melhor tratamento que a oclusão para tratamento da ambliopia (6) .Há indícios de que há melhora da acuidade visual e função binocular nos pacientes submetidos a tratamento oclusivo, sendo que o índice de sucesso varia com a idade do início da terapia, desde que o paciente tenha boa adesão e que seja monitorizado a longo prazo (7) .A adesão rigorosa ao tratamento é tida como decisiva no resultado, de forma que os pacientes que realizam corretamente a oclusão tendem a …”
