aThe high extraction age was 4.0 (3.0–5.0) months [median (min–max)] and the low extraction age was 9.0 (6.0–15.0) months [median (min–max)]; bthe bad visual acuity was BCVA equal or worse than 20/50; nonadjusted model adjust for: none; adjust I model adjust for: laterality; compliance to amblyopia therapy; adjust II model adjust for: laterality; opacity type; compliance to amblyopia therapy.
