Abstract

Prospective,randomized,interventional study to evaluate dichoptic therapy in amblyopia.Sixty children 5-16 years with anisometropic amblyopia randomized in 2 groups-dichoptic(n=30) received artificial intelligence based dichoptic therapy and occlusion group(n=30) received occlusion.Patients evaluated for best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), near vision, contrast sensitivity, binocularity, and near and distant stereoacuity at 6 months.Mean distance BCVA and near vision improved in both.Mean contrast sensitivity improved in both(P<0.001),with better results in dichoptic.Mean near and distant stereoacuity improved in bothand difference of stereoacuity between both was significantly better in dichoptic (P<0.001 for both).Compliance was better in dichoptic
Conclusions: Dichoptic therapy had better results in binocularity and compliance due to regular monitoring and more engaging and varied games.Dichoptic therapy is good alternative to occlusion in mild to moderate anisometropic amblyopia
