description/Objectives: This course will focus on the mechanisms
of amblyopia and eye movement disorders associated with infantile
esotropia as well as on how insights into these mechanisms affect
clinical management of patients with these conditions.
At the end of the symposium, participants should be able to:
1. Identify the cortical mechanisms that underlie amblyopia in
humans.
2. List the types of conditions that lead to amblyopia and differentiate
them from structural causes of reduced vision in infants
and children.
3. Interpret the indications for different modalities of treatment
of amblyopia.
4. Dissect the complex eye movement abnormalities in the infantile
esotropia complex and understand their mechanisms.
5. Review information and decide on the timing of surgery for
infantile esotropia.
