Abstract

INTRODUCTION: AMBLYOPIA IS A SERIOUS CONDITION RESULTING IN MONOCULAR IMPAIRED VISION.ALTHOUGH TRADITIONAL TREATMENT IMPROVES VISION.

METHODS: THIS PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY INCLUDED ALL PATIENTS WITH AMBLYOPIA WHO WERE SUBJECTED TO PERCEPTUAL LEARNING.VISION, STEREOPSIS AND CONTRAST SENSITIVITY WERE DOCUMENTED

THE PRE AND POST‑TREATMENT DATA WAS COMPARED USING DESCRIPTIVE,CROSS‑TABULATION AND COMPARATIVE METHODS ON SPSS 22. THE MEAN VALUES WERE OBTAINED AND P < 0.05 WAS CONSIDERED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. RESULTS: THE COHORT CONSISTED OF 47 PATIENTS (23 FEMALES AND 24 MALES) WITH A MEAN AGE OF 14.11 ± 7.13.SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT WAS DETECTED IN VISION AFTER THE SESSION AND THE MEDIAN FOLLOW‑UP PERIOD WAS 17 DAYS.SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS OBSERVED IN STEREOPSIS. CONCLUSION: PERCEPTUAL LEARNING WITH HAND–EYE COORDINATION IS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR MANAGING AMBLYOPIA. THIS APPROACH IMPROVES VISION IN ALL AGE GROUP. HOWEVER, VISUAL IMPROVEMENT IS INFLUENCED BY OCULAR ALIGNMENT.
