Response to patching in amblyopic patients with and without fusion maldevelopment nystagmus.

33% of patients with FMN and 30% without FMN were treated with no residual amblyopia ( SP 2 sp , P = 0.886). Interestingly, the duration of treatment in successfully treated amblyopic patients was longer in FMN group than in those without FMN. Amblyopic patients with FMN respond to part-time occlusion, however, treatment should be maintained longer. [Extracted from the article]
