AbstractDuring the course of the referendum campaign, the Scottish government argued that free tuition for Scottish and EU students symbolised Scotland's preference for universal services and was intrinsically fairer than the 'marketised' systems operating in the rest of the UK. Invoking principles of both social justice and pragmatism, three distinct critiques of the Scottish government's higher education policy were mounted and adopted by different policy actors for different political purposes. Following a discussion of these arguments, this article concludes that a more nuanced discussion of higher education policy in Scotland is required, focusing not just on the absence of tuition fees but also on the distribution of debt and allocation of funds across the entire education system. We also note that the focus on tuition fees policy suggests that higher education systems across the UK are set on a process of divergence, whereas there are strong pressures towards policy convergence in areas such as research policy and internationalisation.

Aim: To provide an overview of the factors that might influence the success or failure of anisometropic amblyopia treatment.Methods: A literature-based review was conducted using mainly Science Direct. Searches were restricted to English-based publications over the past 10 years, mainly focusing on children before they reach visual maturation.Results: The most common factors considered within the literature are patient age, the degree of anisometropia, the depth of amblyopia, and the type of treatment and its compliance. However, methodological differences could account for the reported differences in treatment outcome.Conclusion: There does not seem to be a general consensus on any factors that could determine why the success rate of anisometropic amblyopia treatment is not as high as expected. This could partly be due to varying definitions in the literature of anisometropia and the success of treatment; or simply the failure to separate strabismics from anisometropes, or hypermetropes from myopes. Potential factors that are not often considered include the presence of aniseikonia, astigmatism and the accommodation response in anisometropic amblyopes.
