Abstract
Single letter and linear acuity (near and distance) and contrast sensitivity were measured in 15 amblyopes (ages 5-12) before, during and after 4 weekly 7 min sessions of CAM treatment. Six of the children played games over a homogeneous grey disc having the same space-averaged luminance as the striped stimuli. Controls and patients were indistinguishable. In a few subjects from both groups, contrast sensitivity and slight linear acuity improvement was observed. These vision changes are attributed to the short-term occlusion experienced by all subjects during treatment and grating stimulation did not contribute to this improvement.
