Vision recovery in amblyopia after contralateral subretinal hemorrhage.
Amblyopia is most effectively treated, in most cases, during the first and second decade of life. Generally, the earlier the treatment, the higher probability of success. The frequency of vision loss in the good eye in patients with monocular amblyopia is between 0.1 and 0.2%. This case report describes a 65-year-old male with successful recovery of vision in the amblyopic eye after a subretinal hemorrhage occurred in the better eye.
