  • Title: [Strabismic amblyopia: management and visual acuity].
    Author: Paris V.
    Journal: Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol; 1996; 263():61-8. PubMed ID: 9410408.
    Abstract:
    This study presents the clinical history of 9 patients presenting an inversed amblyopia during the course of their treatment. A simple therapy was sufficient to restore the initial sensorial situation for all cases in a less than two months period. Two of these patients were presenting a so strong dominance of fixation that they were still fixing with their eye, even after becoming amblyopic. The use of the Gracis's biprismatic test is considered as an objective witness of the quality of the dominance and is illustrated through these examples. This test can make the difference between an inversed amblyopia and a real inversion of the initial amblyopic process. It permits to choose the type and the duration of the treatment using to prevent the recurrence of amblyopia.
