title: A 1-Year Review of Amblyopia and Strabismus Research.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This current review highlights some of the literature published in the past year from April 2013 to May 2014.
  
  
  METHODS
  Literature Review.
  
  
  METHODS
  The present review is based on an extended search for pertinent articles on amblyopia and strabismus published during the specified period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Many articles are often not very comparable to one another because of a lack of randomized clinical trials with most of the studies being retrospective in nature. There is often disagreement on some terminology. Typically, the definition of binocular vision is rarely related to the tests used for evaluating it.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The authors conclude that adult strabismus patients seem to gain benefits from corrective surgery not only for their ocular misalignment, but also for social anxiety levels that may be associated with improvements in their quality of life and disability levels.
