CASE REPORT : IMPROVED VISION IN A 56-YEAR-OLD PATIENT WITH REFRACTIVE AMBLYOPIA.
Background:
Amblyopia (lazy eye) is a pathology that affects 2%-5% of the world population and is considered untreatable after the age of 9.
RevitalVision is the only FDA-cleared product with an efficacy claim for improving vision in adults with amblyopia (9 years of age or older).
This case report demonstrates how improving vision in amblyopia at an older age can affect a patient’s quality of life.
The 56-year-old patient’s main motivation was to meet the threshold necessary to obtain a driver’s license for a heavy motorcycle, to make reading easier, and to gain another functional eye on which he could rely.
The diagnosis:
Anisometropic Amblyopia LE
Hypermetropia & Astigmatism LE
Myopia RE
Refraction:
Right: -2.75/-0.50*121
Left: +4.75/-2.50*85
Due to his high anisometropia, the patient was prescribed with contact lenses, replacing the glasses with partial prescription (balance), which he previously used in the amblyopic eye
before treatment:
BCVA DISTANCE
Right: 6/6
Left: 6/12-2
BCVA NEAR:
Right J1+
Left J5-
STEREO (Randot stereo test) – 400 sec/arc
AFTER 40 SESSIONS:
BCVA DISTANCE :
Right: 6/6
Left: 6/7.5(-1) 2-line improvement!
BCVA NEAR:
Right : J1+
Left: J2- 3-line improvement!
STEREO (Randot stereo test) – 50 sec/arc !
Phenomenal improvement in contrast sensitivity: F.A.C.T Sine Wave (Vision Analyzer Stereo Optical)
The dominant right eye, which was covered with a semi-transparent cover and received only partial stimulation during treatment, improved CS by 276%!
In the left amblyopic eye, CS improved by 700%.
The patient is feeling a significant subjective vision improvement, the stereo vision improved, he could read and work in front of a computer for longer hours without getting tired and he can finally fulfill his dream to ride a heavy motorcycle, despite his wife’s disapproval…
RevitalVision enables significant vision improvement in amblyopic adults, beyond the critical age and when patching therapy is no longer effective!
