Amblyopia is one of the common ophthalmic diseases in children's visual development, and its pathogenesis is rather complicated. This paper summarizes the current literatures on the pathogenesis of amblyopia, and analyzes the molecular biological mechanism of visual development and amblyopia pathogenesis from the visual neurotransmitters and their receptors, cell factors, related genes and proteins, as well as the expression of regulatory kinase. In order to provide a reference for the study of visual plasticity, amblyopia pathogenesis and treatment.
