Amblyopia treatment effectiveness
Normal visual acuity, % | Amblyopia surpassed, % | |
Non-refractive (n=13) | 61.5 | 69.2 |
Refractive (n=34) | 91.2 | 100 |
Without previous treatment (n=32) | 87.5 | 100 |

Comparison between treatment effectiveness in refractive versus non-refractive aetiology in the upper rows.In the lower rows, comparison of treatment effectiveness if amblyopia was already under treatment before age 3–4 or not. Outcomes: normal visual acuity if BCVA ≥0.7 (decimal) in both eyes; amblyopia surpassed if BCVA (best corrected visual acuity) criteria for amblyopia were suppressed. See text for details.
