 Introduction: Amblyopia is defined as a decrease of visual acuity caused by pattern vision deprivation or abnormal binocular interaction for which no cause can be detected by the physical examination of the eye and in appropriate cases is reversible by therapeutic measures. Aim: Aim of this study to compare vision improvement in Log MAR scale before and after occlusion therapy in Amblyopic patients Methods: Prospective Observational study, 67 children were included in the age group 1 to 15 years. Children’s visions were checked before and after occlusion therapy. Results: 67 children were analyzed; age group 6 to 10 years (54%) was affected with amblyopia. In our study out of 67 subjects, 42 patients (63%) were female and 25 patients (63%) were male. 18 subjects were using eye patch for 2 to 3 hours. And 6 subjects were using for 3 to 4 hours. 43 subjects were using it for 4 to 6 hours. Mean log MAR value at pre treatment was 0.64 (0.29 SD) and post treatment was 0.25 (0.23SD). Conclusion: Occlusion therapy plays a significant role in amblyopia. Though occlusion therapy has long been the accepted standard for treatment of amblyopia
