Study Summary

This study is comparing the effectiveness of patching combined with active vision therapy plus near activities versus patching combined with control vision therapy plus near activities for moderate amblyopia (20/40-20/100) in 7 to \<13 year olds. The primary outcome measure is the proportion of patients with visual acuity of 20/25 or better in the amblyopic eye at the 17-week masked exam. These patients will be considered treatment responders. The primary analysis will consist of a comparison between the 2 treatment groups of the proportion of treatment responders with adjustment for baseline visual acuity. Secondary outcomes are stereoacuity at the 17-week masked exam, mean improvement in visual acuity at the 17-week masked exam, and rate of improvement of visual acuity.

Primary Outcome

Visual acuity was measured with the electronic early treatment diabetic retinopathy (E-ETDRS) method and resulted in a letter score that could range from 0 to 97 letters, with 0 being the worst and 97 being the best.
