attenuation

A form of occlusion therapy in which the transmission of light to the non-amblyopic eye is reduced using translucent filters or materials. This approach aims to stimulate the amblyopic eye while maintaining some binocular input, potentially improving treatment compliance and outcomes compared to traditional patching. Attenuation can be achieved using Bangerter filters, translucent tape, or other materials that blur the vision in the non-amblyopic eye, forcing the amblyopic eye to be used for visual tasks.
