ABSTRACT We reported the results of amblyopia treatment in 40 patients age 1 to 14 years (average 6.13 years).

There were 16 strabismic amblyopia, 7 amblyopia ex anopsia, and 17 an isometropic amblyopia. The treatment methods were: 1) direct occlusion, 2) direct occlusion and CAM vision stimulator, and 3) direct occlusion, CAM vision stimulator and active pleoptic. The VA after treatment improved with statistical significant in every group. The mean pre-treatment VA was 20/200. The mean post-treatment VA was 20/40. The mean follow up time was 14.5 months.

We suggest that the amblyopic patients who are not responsed to conventional theray should be given other treatment methods.
