The effect of the randomized trial of patching regimens for treatment of moderate amblyopia on pediatric ophthalmologists: 3-year outcome

Our study suggests that pediatric ophthalmologists may be prescribing fewer patching hours in 2006 in comparison to 2003. However, the majority of ophthalmologists are still reluctant to patch for only 2 hours, and there has not been a significant increase in prescribing near visual tasks during patching.
