Alternating occlusion training, also referred to as electronic rapid alternate occlusion, is an approach to amblyopia and to intermittent central suppression in vision therapy, in which electronic devices such as programmable shutter glasses or goggles are used to block the field of view of one eye in rapid alternation.
Amblyopia treatment in older children: This study aimed to evaluate whether children older than 7 years with amblyopia could benefit from the treatments used in younger children (prescription eyeglasses, patching, and atropine eye drops). The results showed that older children whose amblyopia was not corrected with eyeglasses alone can benefit ...
Eye patching is used in the orthoptic management [2] of children at risk of lazy eye (), especially strabismic or anisometropic [3] amblyopia. These conditions can cause visual suppression of areas of the dissimilar images [4] by the brain such as to avoid diplopia, resulting in a loss of visual acuity in the suppressed eye and in extreme cases in blindness in an otherwise functional eye.
Deprivation amblyopia is treated by removing the opacity as soon as possible followed by patching or penalizing the good eye to encourage the use of the amblyopic eye. [22] The earlier the treatment is initiated, the easier and faster the treatment is and the less psychologically damaging.
Some studies have shown that vision therapy, often combined with patching or atropine eye drops, can improve visual acuity and stereopsis (depth perception) in individuals with amblyopia. The Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG) has conducted several studies that support the use of vision therapy as an effective treatment option for ...
From 1999 to 2020, the number of alcohol-related deaths has nearly doubled, according to Florida Atlantic University study. A researcher and addiction specialists discuss the risk factors.
[15] [16] Amblyopia, often also called lazy eye, is a common condition in children where the neurological connection between the eye and brain fails to fully establish, resulting the brain's inability to process the visual information from the eye, despite normal structure and function of the eye.
The management of amblyopia involves correcting of significant refractive errors and using techniques that encourage the brain to pay attention to the weaker eye such as patching the stronger eye (occlusion therapy).
