The purpose of this study was to investigate sole effect of therapy of spectacles correction on the refractive amblyopia. Spectacles were prescribed to give the same effect as the occlusion therapy undercorrecting in the case of hyperopia, and effectiveness of the therapy was compared with occlusion therapy without additional prescription. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. The higher anisometropic power was the lower initial visual acuity was. 2. Anisometropic power did not influence final visual acuity. 3. The latter beginning time of therapy was the higher astigmatism was. 4. Therapy of spectacles correction on the hyperopic amblyopia was quite effective.

For the prevention of amblyopia, early discover and treatment is very important. Therefore we evaluated the type and the degree of refractive errors of 39 children with anisometropic and refractive amblyopia aged 3 to 12 years, and studied the relationship of astigmatism and amblyopia. Astigmatism was found in 35 of 39 eyes. Of these 35 eyes, with the rule astigmatism was found in 30 eyes. The cylinderical power was distributed mostly from 0.50D to 6.50D and astigmatism did not appear to influence on the initial and final corrected visual acuity.
