Popis:	Eighty consecutive patients with amblyopia ex anopsia were treated with the Cambridge Stimulator (Cam.). Each patient received an average of six, 15 minute treatment sessions at a frequency of 7-2 per week. Treatment was terminated after two consecutive treatments indicated no change in visual acuity. Sixty-nine patients were given mmimal occlusion simultaneously with Cam. treatment. Eleven patients were given full-time conventional occlusion simultaneously with Cam. treatment. Of the first group, 47% achieved 6/ 12 or better visual acuity, although if the 14 eccentric fixators were excluded, 60% achieved 6/ 12 or better visual acuity. Of the second group, 91 % improved to 6/ 12 or better vision. This means the patients treated with full-time occlusion and Cam. showed an improvement of visual acuity of near/y twice the extent of those patients treated with minimal occlusion and Cam. over the same period of time.
