| Summary: | A brief review is provided on the role of experimental
modulation of the visual system during
its plastic period. The importance of several substances
could be demonstrated. Potential clinical
applications of available studies for amblyopia
treatment are summarised. The role of the dopaminergic
system and particularly of dopamine
in amblyopia are also discussed. Results of the
use of cytidin-5’-diphosphocoline (citicoline)
in amblyopia are evaluated in detail. Advantages
and indications for a combination of citicoline
with part-time occlusion are discussed in detail.
Finally, new administration modalities of citicoline,
more detailed evaluation of its efficacy and
the use of new substances are briefly analysed. |
