Abstract:

Amblyopia is a core part of pediatric strabismus management and is still a common problem even though it can be completely or partially overcome with treatment if detected in time. Practice varies widely in the management of strabismic, anisometropic and combined amblyopia: how much patching, start & maintenance, penalization, time of screening. The Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG) amblyopia studies have led to a reduction in the intensity and duration of amblyopia treatment and production of new evidence-based practice guidelines, even though their adoption in clinical practice has been questioned. Frequently asked questions today are: did the PEDIG studies change my management of amblyopia? Are they an advancement in amblyopia management, or have they caused a dilemma? Several uncertainties still remain that cannot currently be answered reliably by referring to up-to-date systematic reviews of existing research evidence.
