AIM: To explore the correlated factors which may affect the therapeutic effect of amblyopic children.

METHODS:The therapeutic effect of 120 amblyopic children was retrospectively analyzed, then the relation between multivariate factors and the therapeutic effect with the logistic regression model was analysed.

RESULTS: The average curative time of the 120 amblyopic children were 22.15±6.20 months, 81 cases was basically cured, and 20 cases improved, after single element analysis there were 5 factors affecting the curative effect, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors were the older age of the child, parents lack of the knowledge of the amblyopia, the poor guidance of the teacher and the deficiency of the indoor illumination, OR=3.601, 3.366, 2.690, 2.563.

CONCLUSION: The independent risk factors which affect the curative effect are older age, parents lack of the knowledge of the amblyopia, the poor guidance of the teacher and the deficiency of the indoor illumination. For this we should take actions to enhance the level of the therapeutic effect.
