The aim is to study the efficacy of 2 hours of daily patching for treating moderate amblyopia in children aged 4 to 9 years. 20 children aged 4 to 9 years who have moderate amblyopia (visual acuity between 0.2 to 0.5) participated in the study. They receive 2 hours of daily patching combined with 1 hour of near visual acuity activities during patching. The visual acuity in the amblyopic eye improved from baseline to 4 month by 2.5 lines. The 4 month visual acuity was at least 0.65 and improved from the baseline by 3 or more lines in 65% of children. The visual acuity improved by 2 or more lines in 80% of children. It could be concluded that 2 hours of daily patching combined with 1 hour of near visual acuity activities during patching is effective in treating moderate amblyopia in children aged 4 to 9 years.
