Modern methods of treatment of amblyopia

Abstract

Throughout the history of pediatric ophthalmology, pathophysiological state has always played an important role. It’s characterized by reduced central vision, often paired with disruption of binocular vision, which is interpreted as amblyopia. Central vision is necessary for social integration, so its disorders cause great quality of life changes in patients limiting their professional activities and complicating everyday life. Despite large number of proposed methods of treatment, amblyopia still remains a pressing problem and its prevalence has not changed significantly over the years.
