    This study on high myopia found that while full spectacle correction and occlusion improved visual acuity and fusion in some patients, amblyopia negatively impacted outcomes. Early treatment is crucial for better results.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Optometry

    Background:

    • Unilateral high myopia presents significant visual challenges.
    • Amblyopia, often associated with high myopia, can hinder visual development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the treatment outcomes for unilateral high myopia.
    • To assess the impact of amblyopia on visual acuity and fusion.

    Main Methods:

    • Follow-up study of 38 patients with unilateral high myopia (5-19 diopters).
    • Treatment included full spectacle correction and occlusion therapy.
    • Data collected on visual acuity, central fusion, and phoria.

    Main Results:

    • Initial visual acuity of 6/12 or better was 3%; improved to 32% by study end.

  • Central fusion improved from 12% to 45%.
  • Amblyopia was inversely related to final fusion and visual acuity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Full spectacle correction and occlusion can improve visual function in unilateral high myopia.
    • Early intervention is recommended to mitigate the negative effects of amblyopia.
    • Age at treatment initiation did not significantly affect outcomes.
