Clinical profile and treatment outcomes of amblyopia across age groups

CONCLUSIONS: Strabismus was the main cause of amblyopia at <3 years of age; anisometropia was more prevalent in older children (3–15 years). The fact that more than a quarter of our amblyopic patients were detected late (after the age of 8 years) underscores the need for expanded vision screening measures in young children.
