Summary

This study will examine on Refractive Amblyopia patients, whose amblyopia started due to longstanding uncorrected refractive errors.

Detailed description

There will be a comparison of two treatment methods i.e. Patching and Binocular Spectacle Prescription used to cure amblyopia patients. In binocular spectacle correction, we will slightly blur the good eye and fully correct the amblyopic eye so that binocular functions stimulate and improve after the treatment. Literature suggests that Patching improve monocular functions but there is no significant improvement in binocular functions.

Conditions

• Amblyopia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Exp Group	Binocular Spectacle prescription are therapeutic tools used to correct refractive errors in visually impaired patients. They improve Visual acuity as well as other visual functions in Amblyopic and visual impairment patients. They stimulate weaker eye to generate visual impulse and stimulate visual cortex to improve stereopsis and fusion.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Control Group	Patching therapy is a gold standard tool used world wide to correct visual acuity in amblyopic patients. This tool is used by occluding stronger eye with a patch or bandage or fogging lens and stimulating amblyopic eye to generate visual stimulus to motivate visual cortex.
