Zusammenfassung

In den letzten Jahren fanden eine intensive Diskussion um den Nutzen der Amblyopiefrüherkennung und -therapie, große prospektive randomisierte kontrollierte Studien zur Amblyopietherapie und erste Studien, die neue technischen Möglichkeiten zur Messung der effektiven Okklusionszeit nutzen, statt. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine bessere Studienlage zur Amblyopietherapie.

Abstract

In recent years there has been a lively discussion on the benefits of early detection and treatment of amblyopia, as well as large prospective randomized controlled studies. Furthermore, we now have the opportunity to measure effective occlusion time. This leads to a better scientific base for discussion of amblyopia therapy.
