Dichoptic Augmented Reality (AR) Training Versus Patching for Unilateral Amblyopia in Children and Adults
This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of AR training with patching for the treatment of unilateral amblyopia. Specific Aim 1 (Primary): To compare the improvement of visual acuity in the amblyopic eye between AR training and patching for the treatment of unilateral amblyopia. Specific Aim 2 (Secondary): To compare the improvement of visual functions between AR training and patching for the treatment of unilateral amblyopia.
• Aged 5-55 years (including 5 years and 55 years);
• Best-corrected visual acuity worse than 20/30 but no worse than 20/200 in the amblyopic eye, interocular difference of 2 or more lines, with the better eye within the normal range;
• Patients have applied optical refractive correction for more than 3 months;
• Ability attend visits and complete the treatment;
• Normal binocular alignment including strabismic amblyopia with orthotropia after surgical correction, or intermittent exotropia within a range of -15 to 0 prism diopters measured by the prism cover test.
