Factores determinantes na adesão parental ao tratamento oclusivo em crianças amblíopes
Aims - Recent investigation studies apply to the fact that in spite of occlusive therapy about 1/3 of the amblyopic eyes don't reach to the visual acuity of 5/10. One of the reasons is the non compliance with the treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of psychosocial factors in the parental compliance of occlusive therapy in children with amblyopia and to determine the existence of significant differences between the Orthoptist's recommendations, parental perception of these recommendations and behaviour. Methods - To achieve the objective a Quantitative transversal study was delivered.
