We investigated how the abnormalities of fixation eye movements (FEMs) of the amblyopic eye were linked with treatment outcomes following part-time patching therapy in children with amblyopia. We recruited 53 patients, with at least 12 months of patching, and measured FEMs at the end of treatment. S...
