“…Treatment options for anisometropic amblyopia that still remain following a spectacle phase include atropine penalization, 11,15 occlusion with patching or contact lenses, 92 and combined atropine and optical therapy. 93 Treatment success is likely related to the magnitude of anisometropia. Kivlin and Flynn 36 found success was more likely in patients having lower amounts of hypermetropic anisometropia.…”

Citicoline may be used in many neurological disorders. Combined treatment of citicoline with patching in amblyopia has previously been researched. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the effect of citicoline in non-patching amblyopic patient. A 11-year-old amblyopic RESUMOA citicolina pode ser utilizada em vários problemas neurológicos. O tratamento combinado de citicolina e oclusão na ambliopia já foi previamente relatado. O objetivo deste estudo é ilustrar o efeito da citicolina em paciente amblíope sem o tratamento oclusivo. Um menino de 11 anos de idade foi submetido a um exame oftalmológico completo incluindo PEV do tipo flash e do tipo padrão reverso. Para o PEV tipo flash, foram analisadas duas médias de 100 estímulos cada uma. Para o PEV do tipo padrão reverso, foram utilizados estímulos de alto contraste de 60', 30' e 15'. O PEV foi repetido 90 dias depois do tratamento com citicolina e vitaminas e os resultados comparados com os exames antes do tratamento. A acuidade visual era de 0,7 no olho direito e 1,0 no olho esquerdo. A amplitude do PEV era normal em ambos os olhos. Era presente um aumento da latência a todas as frequências espaciais de estimulação (FEE) no olho direito e somente à alta FEE no olho esquerdo. Após o tratamento, a acuidade visual era de 1,0 em ambos os olhos. A latência se normalizou à baixa FSS no olho direito e à alta FSS no olho esquerdo. O PEV tipo flash era normal antes e depois do tratamento. Em conclusão, a citicolina demonstrou ser eficaz no tratamento de olhos amblíopes sem oclusão. A melhora da acuidade visual e da latência do PEV demonstraram que a citicolina restaura a transmissão elétrica do impulso da retina ao cortex visual. Pesquisas futuras são necessárias para entender o efeito imediato e a longo prazo da citicolina no tratamento de pacientes amblíopes.

“…It is defined as a reduced best-corrected visual acuity with no pathological or organic associated factors [2,3]. Several alternatives have been proposed for the treatment of this condition, such as the correction of the refractive error [4][5][6], occlusion or patching therapy [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], atropine penalization [7,10,11,[14][15][16][17], optical penalization [16][17][18], or the use of the Bangerter filters or foils [19][20][21]. However, it should be considered that some of these alternatives present signifiThis study has been supported in part by a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Health, Instituto Carlos III, Red Temática de Investigación Cooperativa en Salud "Patología ocular del envejecimiento, calidad visual y calidad de vida", Subproyecto de Calidad Visual (RD07/ 0062)…”
