Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of amblyopia therapy on cases who will receive Interactive Binocular Treatment (IBiTTM) without patching compared with those who will receive standard patching of the dominant eye with placebo IBiTTM.

In this randomized clinical trial, 40 unilateral amblyopic children (3 to 10 years old) will be studied. All unilateral functional amblyopic children with best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) worse than 0.30 LogMAR at least in one eye or a difference of two BCVA lines of Snellen between the two eyes will be included and randomly will divide into the case (n=19) and control (n=21) groups. Cases will play I-BiTâ„¢ games, while controls will have standard patch therapy and will play with placebo IBiTTM for one month. All subjects will be underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations at baseline and at one-month follow-up.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

I-BiT group

Amblyopic patients will play I-BiT games without patching.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Interactive Binocular Treatment

Intervention Type DEVICE

The specified system which stimulate the fovea of the amblyopic eye directly by detailed and movable objects, while the fixation of the non- amblyopic eye will be focused on fixed targets.

Placebo group

Amblyopic patients will patch their dominant eye and they will play placebo I-BiT games.
