[Treatment of amblyopia with soft occlusion lenses (author's transl)]. 1978

K Blassmann, and T Neuhann

Inverse and regular occlusion therapy is carried out by means of a block coloured soft contact lens in cases, in which previous conventional patching had not been successful for external reasons. The technical data of the lens used and the indications for its application are given. Preliminary results show the usefulness of this method.

D000550	Amblyopia	A nonspecific term referring to impaired vision. Major subcategories include stimulus deprivation-induced amblyopia and toxic amblyopia. Stimulus deprivation-induced amblyopia is a developmental disorder of the visual cortex. A discrepancy between visual information received by the visual cortex from each eye results in abnormal cortical development. STRABISMUS and REFRACTIVE ERRORS may cause this condition. Toxic amblyopia is a disorder of the OPTIC NERVE which is associated with ALCOHOLISM, tobacco SMOKING, and other toxins and as an adverse effect of the use of some medications.
