There was a statistically significant improvement of Worth 4 dot test results with increased fusion in the cases of both groups. There was a statistically significant improvement of Lang test and achieving positive results in the cases of group 1(29.4% of cases) and group 2 (10.5% of cases) at 6 months of treatment as compared with the pretreatment data.Conclusion: I-BiT system can give equal results to patching of sound eye in treating cases of moderate amblyopia but in a new, simple and joyful way.
