- In recent years the Eye Department at Aalborg University Hospital has had many referrals of older children with severe amblyopia due to anisometropia. Anisometropia is not visible, thus a monocular vision examination is needed in order to detect it. Early detection increases the possibilities for a better post treatment visual acuity. Recent studies indicate positive treatment response also in older children, and some older individuals respond dramatically. Currently it is not possible to predict who will respond, and therefore treatment should be offered despite the age of the child if the child and parents are motivated for it.
