The purpose of this study is to determine whether viewing asynchronous movies leads to better visual outcomes in young children with amblyopia than standard-of-care occlusion therapy with an adhesive patch and whether this is associated with better adherence to treatment.
This is a single-site randomized clinical trial to compare treatment of amblyopia by viewing asynchronous movies to standard-of-care occlusion therapy with an adhesive patch. Participants will be referred from local pediatric ophthalmologists. Following informed consent, children will complete baseline testing to confirm eligibility and provide pre-treatment measurements of visual acuity, suppression, stereoacuity, motor skills, self-perception, and quality of life. Eligible children will then be randomly allocated to either patch-free occlusion therapy or standard-of-care occlusion therapy wi…
