There are many methods adopted in the treatment of amblyopia.Now many accessory therapies are enhanced instead of classical therapies,such as application of some therapeutic instruments for amblyopia,acupuncture and Chinese traditional medicine. We still suggest treating amblyopia with classical therapies:correction of refractive errors,occlusion and penalization.In this way,we may avoid attending to trifles and neglect the essentials,and miss the opportunity of treatment.(Ophthalmol CHN,2006,15:292-293)
