Abstract:Purpose: Recently, Lunghi et al showed that amblyopic eye's visual acuity per se after 2 months of occlusion therapy could be predicted by a homeostatic plasticity, i.e., the temporary shift of ocular dominance observed after a 2-hour monocular deprivation, in children with anisometropic amblyopia (Lunghi et al., 2016). In this study, we assess whether the visual acuity improvement of the amblyopic eye measured after 2 months of occlusion therapy could be predicted by this plasticity. Methods: Seven children (… Show more
