Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie). 2007 Winter;39(4):284-90. doi: 10.1007/s12009-007-9002-3.

Abstract

We studied the benefit of active vision therapy in 910 pseudophakic amblyopic children and young adults suffering from unilateral congenital cataract. It was concluded that noninvasive active vision therapy helps improve visual acuity in the majority of subjects. However, the treatment demands much perseverance from both patient and therapist.
