Abstract
The most effective treatment approach for a child with amblyopia relies on several factors, including the age at diagnosis, the type and onset of amblyopia, and the level of patient compliance. Deprivation amblyopia necessitates addressing the underlying cause of visual impairment, such as cataracts or ptosis, before managing the amblyopia itself, similar to other forms of this condition. Anisometropic amblyopia typically requires prioritizing the use of corrective glasses. In cases of strabismic amblyopia, it's conventionally recommended to manage the amblyopia before correcting the strabismus. While the timing of surgery for strabismus remains debatable, correcting strabismus usually has minimal impact on amblyopia. Achieving the best outcomes involves treating amblyopia before the age of 7, emphasizing the greater efficacy with earlier intervention. In specific instances of bilateral amblyopia, providing a competitive advantage to the more impaired eye over the relatively better eye is crucial. Corrective glasses may suffice when a refractive error exists, but combining them with occlusion can expedite results. Traditional occlusion of the stronger eye remains the primary therapy for amblyopia, although penalization has shown comparable effectiveness. Pharmacotherapy has demonstrated less than optimal outcomes. Modern monocular and binocular therapies, employing neural tasks and games, complement patching and are also viable for adult patients
