[Principles of background stimulation in the treatment of amblyopia]

Described in the paper are the results of a comparative evaluation of treatment of amblyopia by computer techniques based on the modern understanding of the mechanisms of impaired visual functions, as observed in amblyopia, comprising stimulation of different canals of the visual system, which were affected or not. Better clinical-and-functional results were fixed in patients with high amblyopia by using the "Ambcar" soft stimulating the magnocellular system by sinusoidal grates with the eyes being fixed on moving objects as well as in patients with moderate amblyopia by using the "eYe" and "Krestiki" soft tools affecting different canals of the visual system and different levels of the parvocellular system. Amblyopia should be treated with respect to individual differences between affected functions of the visual system in each patient, and a therapy method should be chosen in proportion to a disease severity.
