Referral Route for late amblyopia treatment in South Derbyshire
18 February 2022
Full details on referral page of site.
Referral pathway from Community Optometry to Orthoptics at Royal Derby Hospital for children aged 7 – 12 years with suspected amblyopia. The incidence of untreated amblyopia in older school children appears to be increasing, with a greater number of children being referred into the HES for consideration for treatment. Following guidance in a recent literature review (1), at RDH we are proposing to offer occlusion / atropine penalisation to a limited age group, namely children aged 7 – 12 years, with newly diagnosed anisometropic amblyopia under the conditions outlined below. We cannot endorse treating strabismic amblyopia due to the lack of evidence surrounding the assessment tools for depth of suppression and hence the risk of inducing intractable diplopia.
