title: Reversal of myopic anisometropic amblyopia with occlusion therapy in a 25 year old.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a reversal of myopic anisometropic amblyopia with occlusion therapy in a 25 year old.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eye clinic of a University Teaching Hospital in a metropolitan city.
  
  
  METHODS
  an index patient.
  
  
  METHODS
  Occlusion therapy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Post occlusion visual acuity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Presenting unaided visual acuity of right eye: 6/6, left eye: 4/60. Refraction result was: right eye: -0.50DS (6/6), left eye: -3.50DS (6/18). Following day time occlusion therapy of at least 6 hours for about 4 weeks, subjective refraction was: right eye: -0.5DS (6/5), left eye: -3.50DS (6/6(+3)).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The remarkable improvement in vision at age 25 years of a patient with myopic anisometropic amblyopia shows that occlusion therapy might still be useful long after amblyogenic period.
