Possible Beneficial Effects Of Combined Fluoxetine And Occlusion Therapy In Improving And Maintaining Vision In Amblyopia Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) And Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). The Aim Of The Study Is To Evaluate Possible Beneficial Effects For Different Age Groups.

Amblyopia is described as a limitation of the visual function of one or both eyes with no pathological cause, with a prevalence of about 1-5% of the total world population. This disorder is caused by early abnormal visual experience with a functional imbalance between the two eyes owing to anisometropia, strabismus, congenital cataract and ptosis, resulting in a dramatic loss of visual acuity (VA) in an apparently healthy eye. Clinically, amblyopia can be defined as the presence in one or both eyes of a VA of 6/12 or worse, with one or more lines of difference in VA between eyes in unilateral amblyopia which cannot be improved by refractive correction. This condition is an alteration of the visual cortex function which is due to suppression and deprivation of one eye leading to unilateral visual deterioration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive technique that can revea
