![]() ![]() Active methods of amblyopia treatment are widely available and are discussed to some extent in the literature, but in many cases the evidence base is unclear, and effectiveness has not been thoroughly tested. Active methods are intended to enhance treatment of amblyopia in a number of ways, including increased compliance and attention during the treatment periods (due to activities that are interesting for the patient) and the use of stimuli designed to activate and to encourage connectivity between certain cortical cell types. Other treatments of amblyopia, intended to be used instead of or in conjunction with passive methods, are known as ‘active’ because they require some activity on the part of the patient. An evidence base for these methods is provided by animal models of visual deprivation and plasticity in early life and randomised controlled studies in humans with amblyopia. Treatment for amblyopia commonly involves passive methods such as occlusion of the non-amblyopic eye.
