Bangerter filter’s role in regulating ocular axial length: a novel application of an established therapy
Bangerter filter, as a traditional occlusion therapy, have been shown to effectively slow ocular AL growth thereby reducing interocular axial length disparity when compared to patching therapy in anisometropic amblyopia treatment. Rapid reduction of hyperopic refraction in non-amblyopic eyes combined with persistent increases in interocular AL difference may constitute a novel indication for Bangerter filter application.
