In the last two decades, more than half of clinical trials addressing amblyopia have not followed the recommended methodology for optimal visual acuity assessment. Thus, their measurements may have been contaminated with noise, and their respective results and conclusions may include errors. Adhering to optimal, standardized methodology is key to progress in both clinical and research grounds.
