“…Previously, in a smaller group of 28 children, between 5 and 14 years old, was evaluated (18 with deprivation amblyopia, 8 with anisometropic amblyopia, and 2 with mixed anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia) [ 45 ]. Visual acuity was assessed after a 6 weeks period using the falling blocks game 1 h per day.…”

“…Gao et al [ 44 ] almost found the same improvement in the placebo group than in the active group. Hamm et al [ 45 ] found an improvement that might be similar to test–retest repeatability —less than 1.5 logMAR lines—and may not be clinically significant for amblyopes [ 47 ]. In addition, Manh et al [ 46 ] showed that patching was more effective than treatment with falling blocks.…”

Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular poor vision affecting up to 3.7% of the global population. Classically, the first step in treatment has been optical correction, followed by patching and/or pharmacological treatment. However, this is an evolving scenario, since researchers and clinicians are interested in new binocular treatments due to the increasing development of new technologies. In this article main, current binocular treatments as Dig Rush, falling blocks, I-BiT, Occlu-tab, Vivid Vision, and movies are reviewed for binocular amblyopia management.

“…This project was a first step towards understanding how the medical community could improve provision of treatment for childhood cataract. The project was part of a larger study about the consequences of,44 and potential for rehabilitation after45 visual deprivation due to childhood cataract. A lay summary of results will be available to all participants, and information will also be disseminated at a community follow-up meeting or ‘hui’.…”

PurposeTo understand how we might improve the provision of medical care for children with cataracts.DesignA phenomenological design was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to capture rich descriptions of the phenomena. Our goal in the interview and the analysis was to understand the sources of distress associated with treatment for cataract and deprivation amblyopia which (1) could be addressed by the medical community and (2) related to treatment adherence.SettingInterviews were conducted by a non-clinician researcher in New Zealand (NZ) in a location chosen by informants. In NZ, the red reflex screening test is performed shortly after birth, and surgery to remove paediatric cataracts is publicly funded.ParticipantsFamilies of children who had a history of cataract in Auckland, NZ were posted an invitation to participate. Twenty families were interviewed.ResultsOur analysis illustrated that informants described a wide range of experiences, from declined cataract surgery to full adherence to medical advice including years of patching for more than 4 hours a day. Across these experiences, we identified three relevant themes; timing of diagnosis, communication between the parent and clinician, and parental social support networks.ConclusionThe medical community may be better placed to support families dealing with childhood cataract by improving detection of childhood cataract, building appropriate communication pathways and promoting social support, with an emphasis on empathetic, individualised care.

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of the visual cortex arising from abnormal visual experience early in life. Amblyopia is a major cause of impaired vision in infants and young children (prevalence around 3.5%). There are different treatment options for amblyopia based on its severity and age of the patient. Traditional treatments include patching or occlusion of the dominant eye and pharmacological penalisation using Atropine (1%). Recent developments in amblyopia management have found success with the use of binocular exercises and certain modifications of glasses and contact lenses. The critical age up to which amblyopia is treatable or reversible is also being pushed up with more research. With newer advancements in amblyopia therapy, the success rate is also improving with multimodal approach.
