[Results of treatment for anisometropic amblyopia with and with squint].
Children with anisometropy greater than 1.0 D were selected from among the patients of the Squint Therapy Consulting Unit of the Ophthalmological Clinic of Medical Academy in Lódź. They were divided into two groups with or without squint. The relationships between positive results of treatment and the degree of anisometropy, initial visual acuity, patients' age and the type and duration od treatment were studied. The degree of binocular vision was evaluated as one the criterions of the recovery in both groups. Higher anisometropy was associated with higher amblyopia. The improvement was achieved in a greater percent of cases in the group with squint. The results were better in lower anisometropy and in younger children, but positive results were achieved also in older patients. There was no correlation between the age od patients and the degree of anisometropy. On account of the lack of stability in visual acuity, supporting occlusion was often indicated.
