Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of automatic frequency conversion laser (AFCLA) treatment in children with anisometropic amblyopia.
Methods: Prospective, noncomparative, interventional, noninvasive study was carried out in 102 anisometropic amblyopic children (4 to 13 years old) with the visual acuity ranging from 0.02 to 0.4 decimal in naked eyes. The area of the macula was irradiated by AFCLA through the conjunctiva from 200 cm distance for 240 sec with He-Ne laser light (wavelength 632.8 nm; automatic frequency conversion 10-35 Hz; average radiant power 0.98-3.5 mW; beam spot size at target 0.8 cm2). AFCLA treatment was performed for initial 10-40 days, following up with 10-40 days consolidation therapy at 3,6,12 and 24 months, respectively. No occlusion was applied, and no additional medication was administered. Best-co.. View More»
