Visual electrophysiological assessment of children with poor response to treatment for functional amblyopia

In the management of functional amblyopia, a thorough assessment of amblyopic eye examinations is crucial. Approximately 20% of amblyopic eyes may not achieve significant improvement in visual acuity, despite the absence of detectable organic retinal abnormalities. mfERG may reveal underlying abnormalities. Integrating mfERG into initial assessments or treatment follow-ups can aid in identifying potential hidden retinal defects and predicting the prognosis of the amblyopic eye.
