Opinions on Amblyopia Treatment in Microtropia – A Questionnaire Study of Orthoptists in Scandinavia

Despite more recent evidence that diplopia following amblyopia treatment is extremely rare, orthoptists working in Scandinavia reported more concerns about diplopia when treating amblyopia in microtropia than in anisometropia. Stopping amblyopia treatment in microtropia before equal VA was achieved was considered somewhat important to prevent diplopia. Orthoptists also reported that equal VA was difficult to achieve in patients with microtropia, both with and without identity. Further research would help improve the evidence and inform clinical decisions about microtropia and amblyopia treatment in microtropia.
