title: After-image transfer--evaluation of short-term treatment.
abstract: The records of treatment by the after-image transfer method of 21 children, mainly with strabismus amblyopia, were examined to evaluate the acuity improvement in the short term. There was no significant improvement in 15 cases. In several other patients, an immediate response to the after-image method occurred, but these patients' binocular vision and acuity had deteriorated following previous improvement achieved by other orthoptic methods.
