Figure 1
Clinical features of amblyopic children. The mean age of the patients treated was 3 to 5 years old (69.6%), and the most common cause of the amblyopia was refractive anisometropic amblyopia (75.0%). On average, treatment began at 4 years of age (53.6%) and the respondents cited that the cooperation of parents and children as the most important factor affecting their treatment success (46.4%).

Figure 2
Preferred diagnostic tools for amblyopia (multiple response: n = 56). In the multiple responses to preferred diagnostic tools, 54 out of 56 respondents (96.4%) said that they performed the cycloplegic refraction test, and 45 (80.4%) said that they performed the alternative cover test. Thirty five (62.5%) chose to take the manifest refraction, 25 (44.6%) chose auto refraction. But stereopsis test (18, 32.1%) and post-cycloplegic refraction (12, 21.4%) showed relatively low selection rates.

Preferred treatment methods. In the survey of scoring between 1 and 5 points for treatments methods, most respondents answered that patching and refractive correction were very effective or effective, with 4.64 points. Next, the penalization was effective or slightly effective with 2.79 points, and many said contact lenses (1.77 points) and refractive surgery (1.46 points) were ineffective or unclear.

Preferred patching time. In a question about the time to patch, 2 hours per day method was the largest with 69.6%, while 6 hours per day method was the second most with 41.1%.

Next, the penalization was effective or slightly effective with 2.79 points, and many said contact lenses (1.77 points) and refractive surgery (1.46 points) were ineffective or unclear. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
