Main finding: A binocular iPad game plus continued spectacle correction had similar visual acuity outcomes to spectacle correction alone at 8 weeks in children aged 7 to 12 years with amblyopia (who have received previous treatment for amblyopia other than spectacles)
Purpose: To compare visual acuity outcomes in amblyopia treated with a binocular iPad game plus continued spectacle correction vs. continued spectacle correction alone in children aged 7-12 years old.
Type: Randomized controlled Trial
Condition: Amblyopia
Participants: Children aged 7-12 years, Amblyopia (strabismic, anisometropic or both)
-Amblyopic eye VA 20/40-20/400
-Sound eye VA 20/25 or better
-Interocular acuity difference ≥3 LogMAR lines
n=138 patients
Intervention:
Group 1: Dichoptic binocular Dig Rush iPad game (1 hour/day for 5 days/week) plus spectacle wear (if needed)
Group 2: continued spectacle correction alone (if needed)
There was no difference in letter scores observed between groups after 8 weeks of treatment.
