[Amblyopic strabismus: strategy for late treatment].
We show the result of the late treatment of 11 esotropic patients. The initial amblyopia has conditioned the analysis of our results. We defend the use of prolonged monocular occlusion, relayed by an optical penalization at far consisting on an hyperopic overcorrection of +2.50 D. This study confirms that the efficacy of the treatment depends principally on its compliance. We want to underline the danger of interrupting the occlusion too soon and without supervision.
