Eccentric Fixation in Mixed Amblyopia: A challenge in Treating Successfully

Abstract

In the presence of Strabismus and Anisometropic Amblyopia eccentric fixation was clinically noticed. Many studies advocated that patient responded well with treatment modalities used in the diagnosis and management of the eccentric fixation. Studies have reported that conventional occlusion are more successful than non- conventional or red filter in the treatment of amblyopia with eccentric fixation [1,2]. Initially patient were treated with the conventional occlusion but after failing to the treatment, switched on the non-conventional occlusion1 along with red filter [3], pleoptics [4] and iNet Amblyopia therapy [4]. Multiple factors and the potential are responsible for successful outcome. Patients fails to improve even with treatment efforts discussed as a limitation of the study. The aim of the case report is to highlight that such cases can be effectively treated with the good compliance, change in treatment modalities as per required eye condition [5].
