Doctors of optometry are Reviewed By The AOA Clinical Guidelines Coordinating Committee: John F. .. uncontrolled patching (occlusion therapy),20 prolonged unilateral. Dec 15, 2015 Patching for two hours per day is recommended for patients with moderate amblyopia (20/80 or better visual acuity), while patching for six hours is recommended for patients with severe amblyopia (20/100 or worse visual acuity). Failure of acuity to improve with patching or atropine treatment should prompt re-refraction and re- examination of the fundus. • Deterioration of acuity during treatment in the absence of an ocular cause should prompt consideration of neuroimaging. 4. Epidemiology. Amblyopia is common, with prevalence estimates of The mainstay of treating amblyopia is patching of the dominant (good) eye, either full or part-time during waking hours. The prescribed number of hours of patching will depend on the visual acuity in the amblyopic eye and whether treatment has been successful in the past. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate time for PEDIG conducted a randomized trial involving 169 children with residual strabismic or anisometropia amblyopia. Pre-randomization, these patients performed two hours of daily patching for 12 weeks. However, they showed no improvement in visual acuity between two visits at least six weeks apart. Though occlusion therapy has long been the accepted standard for treatment of unilateral amblyopia, the details of how to patch were often debated as a matter of personal . To perform a cost-utility analysis of treatment, researchers referred to the Academy's Preferred Practice Pattern guideline for amblyopia ( Figure 4 ). Children treated with patching may develop occlusion amblyopia or strabismus in the previously better-seeing eye. Mild skin irritation from the adhesive is common with patching (41% of a treatment cohort); the irritation is moderate or severe in an additional 6%, but it can be minimized by switching to a different patch or Sep 20, 2013 The standard treatment for amblyopia, a condition of poor vision in an otherwise healthy eye, is patching: covering a child's better-seeing eye with a patch for two hours a day to improve vision in the weaker eye. Doctors often suggest increasing the daily duration of patching if children stop making progress, Apr 5, 2016 The following are general guidelines for occlusion therapy: Patching may be full-time or part-time. Standard teaching has been that children need to be observed at intervals of 1 week per year of age, if undergoing full-time occlusion to avoid occlusion amblyopia in the sound eye. The Amblyopia Treatment Nov 27, 2017 Additional treatment with patching, atropine, or a Bangerter filter can then be initiated if amblyopia persists. Before the ATS studies, there was no consensus about the number of hours amblyopic patients should be patched and full time occlusion was often recommended.$
