Summary

The research team will execute two concurrent studies within a common framework. The first will compare iCare to standard of care occlusion therapy (patching) for amblyopia in patients ages 4 to 18 (inclusive). The second will compare iCare to a standard of care for home-based CI therapy (pencil pushups) for convergence insufficiency patients ages 8 to 18 (inclusive). In the context of this study, the term iCare refers to either the amblyopia or CI video game module as appropriate for the respective study group.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria (Amblyopia Arms):

  • Age 4 to 18 (inclusive);
  • Diagnosis of amblyopia associated with anisometropia;
  • No amblyopia treatment (atropine, patching, vision therapy) in the past two weeks;
  • Spectacles (if required) worn for at least 16 weeks, or demonstrated stability of visual acuity ( 10∆ at near.

Inclusion Criteria (CI Arms):

  • Best-corrected visual acuity of ≥ 20/25 in each eye at distance and near;
  • Exophoria at near at least 4∆ greater than at distance;
  • Reduced positive fusional convergence at near ( 20cm in the right eye;
  • Manifest or latent nystagmus clinically evident;
  • Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, or other severe developmental delay, or learning or attention disability that in the investigator's discretion will interfere with treatment or evaluation;
  • Acquired brain injury;
  • Previous vision therapy treatment for CI within the previous 6 months.
