A New Approach to Vision Therapy Based on Naturalistic 3-D Computer Gaming
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating iCare, Amblyopia standard of Care, and 1 other intervention for Amblyopia and Ocular Motility Disorders. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.

Timeline
Interventions
The iCare product is an action video game designed to provide home-based vision therapy for non-strabismic amblyopia and convergence insufficiency in children as young as 4 years old. Participants assigned to an iCare group will play iCare vision therapy games for approximately 20 minutes per day, five days per week.
The amblyopia standard of care group will be prescribed patching for two or six hours per day, seven days per week. Standard of care group participants with best-corrected vision worse than 20/200 in their amblyopic eye will be prescribed six hours of patching daily
A dosage-matched CI standard of Care group will be prescribed pencil pushups for 20 minutes per day, five days per week.
