The Role of Compliance in 2 vs 6 Hours of Patching in Children WithAmblyopia

Some Guiding Principles in Emerging Models of Voice Therapy for Children

“…A second factor relates to load complexity. It is not surprising, and has also been documented, that the more things we ask a child to do in treatment, the less likely it is the child will comply (e.g., see Gottlob et al 70 ). Written or aural instructions, for example on CDs or various apps, may be helpful for compliance.…”

The Effect on Pediatric Ophthalmologists of the Randomized Trial of Patching Regimens for Treatment of Moderate Amblyopia

“…The amblyopia study has been criticized for not being undertaken under highly controlled conditions, yet indeed the protocol was designed to approximate real world management of amblyopia as much as possible. [2][3][4][5] The purpose of this questionnaire was to investigate adoption of these findings and its effect on the treatment regimens provided to children in this age group with moderate amblyopia by member ophthalmologists of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.…”

Amblyopia Treatment: 1998 Versus 2004

“…6,7 The publication of these studies provided a body of evidence to support practice patterns for the treatment of amblyopia, although there were some concerns with some aspects of the methodology used in the PEDIG studies. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The Amblyopia Treatment Studies compared the gold standard of prescribed full-time patching to several less intense prescribed patching regimens and to the use of atropine penalization. The Amblyopia Treatment Study 1 reported that 6 or more hours of daily prescribed patching was equivalent to daily atropine penalization in the treatment of moderate amblyopia.…”

“…These included a series of large multicenter trials from the Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG),1–5 as well as smaller studies that addressed the need for spectacles and patching in children with anisometropia 6,7. The publication of these studies provided a body of evidence to support practice patterns for the treatment of amblyopia, although there were some concerns with some aspects of the methodology used in the PEDIG studies 8–14…”
