Summary

Amblyopia is characterized by a reduction in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and binocular visual functions. The two main causes of amblyopia are anisometropia and strabismus which alter the synaptic connections between neurons along the visual pathway. Current treatment for amblyopia has indicated that the younger the amblyope, the greater the effect of treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine if standard amblyopia treatment improved visual acuity in adult amblyopes.
