Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of original complex treatment of refractive amblyopia in children and teenagers. Methods: Original method of amblyopia treatment consists on combined usage of magnetic therapy, laser stimulation, pattern stimulation and medicinal preparations (Mirtilene forte, Emoxipin, nicotinic acid). Clinical investigations of efficiency of method were performed in 66 patients (84 eyes). 38 children used spectacles and contact lenses. Refractive lens replacement was performed in 17 children. LASIK was performed in 11 children. Results: We observed statisticaly significant increase of visual acuity and contrast sensitivity function of amblyopic eyes after performed treatment. More significant dynamics of contrast sensitivity function was in children with surgical ametropia correction. Conclusion: The original method of amblyopia treatment usage enables to improve the efficiency of visual and social rehabilitation of children and adolescents having this pathology.
