The role of suppression in amblyopia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Purpose This study had three main aims; to assess the degree of suppression in patients with strabismic, anisometropic and mixed amblyopia, to establish the relationship between suppression and the degree of amblyopia and to compare the degree of suppression across the clinical sub‐groups within our sample. Methods Using both standard measures of suppression (Bagolini lenses and ND filters, Worth 4 dots) and a new approach involving the measurement of dichoptic motion thresholds under conditions of variable interocular contrast, we quantified the degree of suppression in 43 amblyopic patients with strabismus, anisometropia or a combination of both. Results There was good agreement between the quantitative measures of suppression made using the new dichoptic motion threshold technique and measurements made using standard clinical techniques (Bagolini lenses and ND filters, Worth 4 dots). The degree of suppression was found to directly correlate with the degree of amblyopia within our clinical sample whereby stronger suppression was associated with a greater interocular acuity difference and poorer stereoacuity. Suppression was not related to the type or angle of strabismus when this was present or the previous treatment history. Conclusion These results suggest that suppression may have a primary role in the amblyopia syndrome and therefore have implications for the treatment of amblyopia.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
