Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Amblyopia is a unilateral or, infrequently, a bilateral reduction of best corrected visual acuity which cannot be attributed to coexisting eye or visual pathway disease. Amblyopia can be due to eye-crossing occurring in early childhood or due to error of refraction whether a high difference between the two eyes or very high bilateral refractive errors.Another cause could be visual deprivation like the presence of congenital cataract.
The prevalence of amblyopia worldwide is approximately 1%-5% .In Egypt, a study that was held in Upper Egypt, found that the prevalence of amblyopia was 1.49%, which is higher in rural areas than in urban areas.
Several modalities of treatment for amblyopia are available, yet occlusion treatment is the gold standard involving covering the good eye with a patch for a prescribed period of time ranging from 10 minutes daily to all waking hours. However, its effectiveness decreases in older children and adults.
Disadvantages include prolonged treatment leading to poor compliance, patching related distress, relationship strain and stigma. In extreme cases, non-compliance with patching results in a costly hospital admission to supervise the patching treatment. In addition, wearing a patch eliminates any advantage of binocularity. Not to mention that not all patients respond to patching and of those who do, many have residual amblyopia after treatment is stopped regardless of compliance. More importantly, binocular vision is not automatically restored once the vision in the amblyopic eye has been improved. In fact, once the patch is removed after therapy, the amblyopic eye could be suppressed by the better seeing eye and can lose some of the gains achieved as a result of therapy.
Another modality of treatment is atropine eye drops and optical penalisation which are usually secondary treatments to failed patching but carrying the same disadvantages as the ordinary patching.
Advances in amblyopia treatment include dichoptic training, perceptual learning, and video gaming. These depend on the fact that the adult brain has been shown to be much more plastic than it was once believed to be and hence have the advantage of expanding the age of response in adults.
Perceptual learning approaches have the advantage of being a dichoptic (binocular treatment using both eyes) approach which is independent of age and type of amblyopia.
A step further to conventional treatment is the use of a home-based approach allowing remote internet monitoring of treatment between office visits and hence better compliance. In addition a video game version of the treatment is developed to make it more enjoyable for improving compliance.
Our goal is to compare the outcome between the gold standard occlusion therapy and one of the dichoptic treatments.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Introduction Amblyopia is a unilateral or, infrequently, a bilateral reduction of best corrected visual acuity which cannot be attributed to coexisting eye or visual pathway disease. Amblyopic eyes may have decreased contrast sensitivity and accommodation deficit. The fellow eye is not often normal but has subtle deficits.This can be explained by interocular suppression, or inhibition of the amblyopic eye by the strong eye, with psychophysical and physiological evidence.
Amblyopia can be classified as follows: 1) Strabismic occurring in early childhood 2) Refractive: a) Anisometropic b) High bilateral refractive errors 3) Visual deprivation.
The prevalence of amblyopia worldwide is approximately 1%-5%. In Egypt, a study that was held in Upper Egypt, found that the prevalence of amblyopia was 1.49%, which is higher in rural areas than in urban areas.
Several modalities of treatment for amblyopia are available, yet occlusion treatment is the gold standard involving covering the good eye with a patch for a prescribed period of time ranging from 10 minutes daily to all waking hours. However, its effectiveness decreases in older children and adults.
Disadvantages include prolonged treatment leading to poor compliance, patching related distress, relationship strain and stigma. In extreme cases, non-compliance with patching results in a costly hospital admission to supervise the patching treatment. In addition, wearing a patch eliminates any advantage of binocularity. Not to mention that not all patients respond to patching and of those who do, many have residual amblyopia after treatment is stopped regardless of compliance. More importantly, binocular vision is not automatically restored once the vision in the amblyopic eye has been improved. In fact, once the patch is removed after therapy, the amblyopic eye could be suppressed by the better seeing eye and can lose some of the gains achieved as a result of therapy.
Another modality of treatment is atropine eye drops and optical penalisation which are usually secondary treatments to failed patching but carrying the same disadvantages as the ordinary patching.
Advances in amblyopia treatment include dichoptic training, perceptual learning, and video gaming. These depend on the fact that the adult brain has been shown to be much more plastic than it was once believed to be and hence have the advantage of expanding the age of response in adults.
Perceptual learning approaches have the advantage of being a dichoptic (binocular treatment) approach which is independent of age and type of amblyopia. Furthermore, it has been shown recently that therapy promotes binocular vision by strengthening stereopsis and reducing suppression.
A step further to conventional treatment is the use of a home-based approach allowing remote internet monitoring of treatment between office visits and hence better compliance. In addition a video game version of the treatment is developed to make it more enjoyable for improving compliance.
Aim of the work:
To compare the gold standard occlusion therapy alone with dichoptic therapy

With and without correction using Snellen acuity chart and preferential looking test for non-verbal patients.
D) Motility:
Ductions and versions (9 positions of gaze) E) Angle of deviation if any
F) Fixation :
Fixation behavior (fixation preference) will be tested via base down 10 prism diopter fixation preference test.
G) Quantitative Binocular vision assessment H) Anterior segment examination. I) Posterior segment examination using indirect ophthalmoscopy with a 20 diopter lens through a dilated pupil.
All patients in Group A will receive the gold standard occlusion therapy. All patients in Group B will receive dichoptic treatment
