 There have been case reports and small sample studies that have shown that vision therapy in combination with spectacles and occlusion is effective in improving the visual acuity of patients with amblyopia. Wick et al looked at nineteen patients who were diagnosed with anisometropic amblyopia between the ages of 6 to 49. Seventeen of the patients had moderate amblyopia and two had severe amblyopia, based on the definition of amblyopia used in the Amblyopia Treatment Studies. The patients were treated with a sequence that included spectacle correction, occlusion therapy and both monocular and binocular vision therapy. Thirteen of the seventeen patients with moderate amblyopia had a final visual acuity of 2025 or better and all of the patients with moderate amblyopia had 2030 or better final visual acuity.
