Is there value in measuring near visual acuity during occlusion therapy for amblyopia?

Discussion: Improvement in VA of amblyopic eyes did not significantly differ between near and distance testing proximites at any point during the course of occlusion therapy for amblyopia in our study. These findings may aid clinicians with appropriate test selection and help with clinical time pressures. Where patient concentration does not allow for uniocular distance vision, uniocular near vision may be used to diagnose amblyopia, and vice versa. This could prevent delay in the treatment of amblyopia.PMID:37921023 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2271088
