The Psychological Impact of Amblyopia Treatment: A Systematic Literature Review.

In a more recent study of parents/guardians of Saudi Arabian amblyopic children ( Alkulaib et al ., 2021 ), overall perceived parental stress levels were reported as ‘moderate’ to ‘high’ in 90% of parents, with these higher stress levels being most apparent when the patients were 6–10 years of age, although this difference between patient age groups did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.120). 3.4 Stigmatization, peer victimisation and compliance Bullying and teasing were documented as common experiences for children undergoing amblyopia treatment, particularly in older children (>7 year of age; Bhandari, Sharma and Shrestha, 2012 ) and were commonly associated with spectacle and/or occlusive patch wear ( Koklanis, Abel and Aroni, 2006 ), along with the presence of strabismus ( Sabri et al ., 2006 ).
