Purpose

To assess the efficacy of Bynocs dichoptic vision training in residual amblyopia for adults.

Setting

Wellington Eye Clinic

Dublin

Ireland

Methods

In this cohort study, 12 adults were enrolled with a mean age of 45.55 years±18.2years. Subjects who were diagnosed with anisometropic or strabismus residual amblyopia did not respond to 100% compliance of 6 hours/day patching for at least 3 months and full time spectacle correction were included in the study. Subjects with deprivational amblyopia or any other ocular comorbidity or neuronal defects were excluded. Subjects were divided into unilateral amblyopia and bilateral amblyopia. Subjects were given one hour/day for 6 days in a week of dichoptic therapy in the clinic.

Results

In the cohort, 12 subjects were included and there was an improvement of median 0.30 LogMAR lines ±0.11 lines, p-< 0.0001 (Paired-t Test) . Moreover 7 out of 10 subjects who had no stereopsis, developed stereopsis for near after Bynocs dichoptic vision training sessions.

Conclusions

The new dichoptic vision training is an effective treatment for adults with residual amblyopia.
