Younger age and poorer best corrected visual acuity were associated with improved vision in children with amblyopia who underwent intermittent atropine penalization after failure of patch therapy.
In a retrospective observational study at Seoul National University Hospital, researchers reviewed records of 41 children who received 1% atropine twice a week for 4 months in their sound eye.
Treatment was successful in 21 patients (51.2%), which was defined as “final BCVA improvement of two logMAR lines relative to the baseline BCVA at the start of atropine penalization in the amblyopic eye.”
