Visual Improvement in an Adult Amblyopic Eye Following Radiation-InducedVisual Loss in the Contralateral Eye

Amblyopia update

“…For example, there have been case reports of visual improvement in amblyopic eyes of adults following loss of vision in the dominant eye [40,[115][116][117][118][119][120], visual acuity improved in patient with amblyopia and manifest strabismus with spectacle correction alone [121], and the surprising efficacy of the alternative treatments mentioned above. For example, there have been case reports of visual improvement in amblyopic eyes of adults following loss of vision in the dominant eye [40,[115][116][117][118][119][120], visual acuity improved in patient with amblyopia and manifest strabismus with spectacle correction alone [121], and the surprising efficacy of the alternative treatments mentioned above.…”

Is amblyopia of any severity fully treatable, irrespective of a patient’s age?

“…30 Cases have been reported in the scientific literature of spontaneous visual improvement in the severely amblyopic eyes in adults following visual loss in the good eye. [31][32][33] Therefore, no patient should be denied amblyopia therapy because of his/her age.…”

Visual improvement during psychophysical training in an adult amblyopic eye following visual loss in the contralateral eye

“…The studies available in the literature were predominantly retrospective [1,11]. Most spontaneous recoveries reported there and in some prospective case studies (e.g., [4]) occurred in anisometropic amblyopes and in foveal fixation. Improvement was partially ascribed to new spectacles [6], in eccentric fixation to pleoptics [11].…”
