[Occlusion contact lenses (author's transl)].

Abstract

A reliable inconspicuous occlusion therapy is achieved by fitting different, specially manufactured contact lenses. Based on a study of a number of cases, the author discusses the indications for a occlusion contact lens. These lenses provide a means for treating amblyopia in schoolchildren and adults, as well as for eliminating diplopia, photophobia and metamorphopsia.
