To evaluate the effect of dichoptic visual training using a virtual reality head mounted display in a sample of anisometropic amblyopic adults and to evaluate the potential usefulness of this option of treatment. A total of 17 subjects (10 men, 7 women) with a mean age of 31.2 years (...
From a public health perspective, the early detection and treatment of amblyopia is most cost effective, as childhood interventions tend to be more successful than during adulthood because of the greater plasticity of children’s visual systems than adults. Further, the benefits of the treatment tend...
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Recovery of Stereopsis in Adults With Amblyopia Recently, it has been shown that a novel dichoptic videogame-based treatment for amblyopia can improve visual function in adult patients, at least in part... DP Spiegel,J Li,RF Hess,... - 《Neurothera...
First, the BRAVO RCT (Gao et al., 2018), which included both adults (up to 55 years of age, N = 49) and children (7–18 years of age, N = 58), many of whom had prior treatment. Patients were randomized into two groups. The active group played a dichoptic Ipod ...
Among children and young adults, amblyopia is the most common cause of decreased vision in a single eye, affecting approximately 2% to 4% of children.[2]The development of this condition is often linked to factors such as visual deprivation, inadequate quality of visual stimulation, or disruption...
Literature on the benefits of screening and treatment of amblyopia emphasizes the costs of insufficiently treated amblyopic patients who lose their better eye. However, patients with insufficiently treated amblyopia and strabismus who do not lose their better eye only experience a slight decrease in thei...
The current study aimed at shedding light on the connection between reduced suppression and improved visual function following treatment in adult amblyopia. Twenty-three adults with amblyopia, ten with anisometropia (unequal refractive error) and thirteen with strabismus (a turned eye), played 40 ho...
16,18,19 However, our data are consistent with reduced suppression in amblyopic adults after binocular game treatment.33,34 There has been a focus on interocular suppression in the etiology of amblyopia,1,14,28 and alleviating suppression with binocular treatment may be the key to amblyopia ...
about whether binocular amblyopia treatment works [78,79]. Studies with small or no improvements have been hindered by poor compliance, and by enrolling older children and adults who had abandoned amblyopia treatment after months or years of patching and atropine with intractable residual amblyopia [...
