AMBLİYOPİ VE GÜNCEL TEDAVİ YAKLAŞIMLARI

Öz

Ambliyopi, çocukluğun erken dönemlerinde sağlıklı görme gelişiminin sağlanamaması sonucu ortaya çıkan görme keskinliğinde azalma durumudur. Refraksiyon kusuru, şaşılık, anatomik ya da konjenital engeller gibi ambliyopiye neden olan risk faktörlerinin ortadan kaldırılması görme gelişiminin arttırılmasını sağlar. Günümüzde erişkinlerde de tedavinin mümkün olduğunu savunan çalışmalar olsa da genel kabul gören görüş ambliyopinin erken tedavi edilmediği takdirde, geri döndürülemez ve yaşam boyu etkisini gösteren bir görme azlığına sebep olmasıdır . Bu derlemede, aileler ve klinisyenler açısından son derece önemli bir durum olan ambliyopinin nedenleri ve günümüzdeki tanı ve tedavi yaklaşımları ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır.

 

Abstract

Ambliyopia is reduction of visual acuity due to the inhibition of healthy visual development during early childhood. The visual development may increase by recovery of the risk factors such as refractive errors, strabismus, anatomic and congenital disorders. Today, there are many studies that defend the possibility of ambliyopia treatment in adults. However, the main accepted view is if ambliyopia is not treated in early period, it will cause irreversible and life-time visual loss. In this review, we have tried to discuss the causes, diagnosis and treatment approaches of ambliyopia which is an important disease for families and clinicians.
