Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Corrected amblyopic logMAR visual acuity and contrast sensitivity function
Study Start Date: January 2005
Study Completion Date: January 2007
Detailed Description:
Patients with anisometropic amblyopia were randomized to patching or perceptual learning group. Corrected amblyopic logMAR visual acuity and contrast sensitivity function were measured at four-weekly intervals until visual acuity stabilized or amblyopia resolved. Improvement in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and the resolution of amblyopia were compared between groups.
