Introduction: amblyopia is primarily a cortical phenomenon, caused by the unequal competitive influence of the two eyes in area 17 of the primary visual cortex. The term amblyopia means lazy or lazy eye. Objective: to describe the results of the visual rehabilitation therapy of ambliopic children. Method: an cross-sectional study was conducted to amblyopic children from the fourth level of the visual rehabilitation of La Edad de Oro School in Holguín, in the 2014-2015 school year. The sample comprised 13 students, characterized by sex, etiology, fixation type and visual recovery. The information was gathered in medical histories. Results: male sex prevailed; the strabic and the ametropic amblyopia were the most frequent, representing 38.46%. The foveate fixation was observed in patients with ametropic amblyopia, and the eccentric fixation was in the estrabic amblyopia. The majority of the cases reached partial recovery, followed of those that obtained full recovery. Conclusions: the majority of the patients improved the visual acuity with the established treatment.
