Optical treatment of amblyopia: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis

ConclusionEffect sizes were always moderate to large, whether participants were younger or older children, or whether the aetiology was refractive or strabismic. Thus, optical treatment of amblyopia should be considered prior to other treatment in those with refractive error. Improved acuity before initiating other treatment would presumably make occlusion or penalisation less onerous and may improve compliance with further treatment.
