Abstract
The author studied the 240 cases of strabismus patients in our OPD from 1972 to 1976. And the author observed the results of occlusion therapy in 55 cases of amblyopia with strabismus. The results are as follows: The sex distribution in exotropia patients showed a preponderance in female sex, the ratio male to female being 2:3. Concerning the refractive status, there were more hyperopia in esotropia and more myopia in exotropia. The amount of deviation was about the same at the near and distance, most patients had a basic type and distributed between 21-40 prism. Of all patients in whom a determination of the retina correspondence could be made, 70% showed NBC and 25 % showed ARC 5% showed variable. Ninety percent of the strabismic amblyopia patients was successfully treated by occlusion therapy. A positive correlation was not found between the duration of occlusion and the age at which occlusion was started. Amblyopes showed arrest of improvement after a certain period, about 3 to 4 months. The exotropia patients over the age of 7 showed good results by occlusion. The shorter the time between the age at which occlusion was started and the onset of strabismus, the better was the result. Strabismic amblyopia responded well to conventional occIusion.
