Abstract: A total of 102 cases (204 eyes) with mild ametropic amblyopia underwent refractive correction without any vision training.After wearing glasses,visual acuity was examined every 3 months during a follow-up period of 12 months.After wearing glasses 12 months,201 eyes (98.53％) were treated effectively,175 eyes (85.78％) cured basically and 3 eyes (1.47％) became invalid.The changes of visual acuity were satisfactory(P ＜0.01).The difference of visual acuity between every two observation timepoints were satisfactory(P ＜0.01).Treating mild ametropic amblyopia by refractive correction alone is both simple and effective.And it has an excellent compliance and a low cost.
