[The importance of the pleoptophor in treating children with amblyopia].
The author presents her own experience in pleoptic treatment, using the occlusion and the exercises at the amblyophor, on 161 children, during a 12 years period of time. The results of the therapy lead to cure in 38% of cases, to improvement in 46% of cases and fail in 16% of cases. The indications, the preparation, the practical development of the treatment at pleoptophor are discussed; the reasons of the failures are carefully analyzed. It is emphasized that the good results are due to the tracking down of children with strabismus in kindergartens, to the application of the amblyopic preventive optical treatment and to pleoptic treatment maintained for years with monthly checkups to prevent relapses.
