Summary

The authors evaluate the effectiveness of new method – Color Reversal Checkerboard Stimulation of the retina (CRCS) in the treatment of unilateral anisometropic amblyopia in group of total 157 children followed during the period 2008–2012 at the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, University Hospital and Masaryk University in Brno. The authors evaluate the improvement in best corrected visual acuity in groups of children with myopic and hyperopic anisometropia and compare the effectiveness of CRCS with a commonly used pleoptic method Campbell visual stimulator.

Authors introduce an original method in the amblyopia treatment suitable to upgrade current methods of pleoptics.

Key words:
CAM, amblyopia, anizometropia, color reversal checkerboard stimulation of retina CRCS
