Prevalence of amblyopia among the children of Saudi Arabia: A systematic review, 1990–2020
African Vision and Eye Health, 2022 Background: Amblyopia is the leading cause of visual impairment in children and as such poses a public health problem. Prevalence studies are required to determine the magnitude of visual impairment because of amblyopia.

Emerging therapies for amblyopia
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2021 Traditional therapies to treat amblyopia, such as optical correction or occlusion/penalization of the non-amblyopic eye, are efficacious but are not without limitations such as poor adherence and decreased success with increasing age. Recently, there has

Genetic causal inference between amblyopia and perinatal factors
Scientific Reports, 2022 Amblyopia is a common visual disorder that causes significant vision problems globally. Most non-ocular risk factors for amblyopia are closely related to the intrauterine environment, and are strongly influenced by parent-origin effects.
