RESUMEN
We analized the results of treatment in 28 children with high hyperopic amblyopia or astigmatic amblyopia among 65 amblyopic children ranging from 3 to 10 years of age from Jan. 1985 to Dec. 1989. The results are as follows: 1. The final corrected visual acuities of both eyes above 0.8, according to Han's visual acuity chart, were attained in 7 cases (50.0%) among children with high hyperopic amblyopia and 4 cases (28.6%) among children with astigmatic amblyopia. 2. As the degree of hyperopic errors increased, initial corrected visual acuity decreased (p<0.05). 3. The initial corrected visual acuity was not associated with the degree of hyperopic errors, but could be correlated with the initial visual acuity examination under 5 years of age (p<0.025). 4. The final corrected visual acuity recovered was above 0.8, (with Han's visual acuity chart) in 11 eyes (78.6%) among 14 eyes with high hyperopic amblyopia under 5 years of age However above 6 years of age, only one eye (12.5%) among 8 eys was correctable. 5. As the degree of astigmatic errors increased, the final corrected visual acuity decreased (p<0.025).
