Transformative Gamified Binocular Therapy for Unilateral Amblyopia in Young Children: Pilot Prospective Efficacy and Safety Study

Transformative Gamified Binocular Therapy for Unilateral Amblyopia in Young Children: Pilot Prospective Efficacy and Safety Study

Amblyopia refers to a unilateral or bilateral decrease of vision caused by abnormal vision development in childhood. It is a common cause of visual impairment in children, significantly affecting their social environment and quality of life. Studies indicate that amblyopia affects 0.7%-2.6% of children aged 30‐71 months and 1%-5.5% of older children [1-3]. Anisometropia is linked to a higher risk of developing amblyopia, with about one-third of children with amblyopia displaying this condition [4].

ChatGPT and Google Assistant as a Source of Patient Education for Patients With Amblyopia: Content Analysis

Amblyopia is a global public health problem with multiple impacts on vision and quality of life [1]. Amblyopia, if untreated, leads to permanent visual impairment in adults. The underlying causes are undiscovered anisometropia (unequal refractive error between the 2 eyes), visual deprivation such as congenital or juvenile cataracts, or strabismus with anisometropia. Treatment can be as simple as a pair of glasses.

Gamification to Support Adherence to a Therapeutic Ambylopia Treatment for Children: Retrospective Study Using a Focal Ambient Visual Acuity Stimulation Game

Gamification to Support Adherence to a Therapeutic Ambylopia Treatment for Children: Retrospective Study Using a Focal Ambient Visual Acuity Stimulation Game

Unilateral amblyopia is a developmental disorder resulting in degraded visual acuity in 1 eye. During the developmental phase of vision, degraded stimulation by the weaker eye leads to the underdevelopment of the corresponding cortical visual areas [1]. Amblyopia is associated with poor binocular visual experience in children and has a lasting effect on the individuals’ quality of life, while children with amblyopia are impacted in their daily activities and future job selection [2].

Effect of Peripheral Defocus on Axial Eye Growth and Modulation of Refractive Error in Hyperopes: Protocol for a Nonrandomized Clinical Trial

Effect of Peripheral Defocus on Axial Eye Growth and Modulation of Refractive Error in Hyperopes: Protocol for a Nonrandomized Clinical Trial

Uncorrected hyperopia can cause blurring of distance vision and near vision and is a known risk factor for the development of strabismus and amblyopia [1]. There is a growing body of evidence that uncorrected hyperopia, in addition to visual consequences, may have a negative impact on educational attainment [2,3] and visuocognitive and visuomotor skills [4].
