Hi all,

I'am a 35 year old amplyope (refractive) with 20/25 visual acuity (corrected
to 20/20) on the good eye and 20/60 (best corrected VA) on the amblyopic.

Having monitored this group for a while (and also some other sources on the
Web), I would like to ask you on any updates on adult amblyopia treatment in
year 2004. More specifically:

- Have you personally, or any adult relative of yours, or any of your adult
patients
been treated for amblyopia with VT or occlusion? With what results? Can you
give
me a short description of the case? (age, shellen improvement, etc)

- Have you in mind any 'big' scale trial (>100 people) or published paper
that deals
with adult refractive amblyopia treatment? Can you pass me any link /
contact?
(Pls note that I'm familiar with studies that demonstrate some snellen
improvement
of amblyopic eye in ISOLATED cases, mostly after loss of good eye due to
accident)

- Finally, do you know of any possible side-affects (diplopia?) when try to
treat adult
amblyopia with occlusion and/or active vision therapy?

Thank you all,
Allen

PS: Yes, I've visited 2-3 doctors asking for treatment options but nobody
gave me hope
in this age. I'm about to visit also an optometrist, but in my country there
are only two(!)
and both are many miles away from home...
