Summary

Amblyopia affects 3% of the children and is caused by strabismus, anisometropia or both. Standard treatment is glasses and patching therapy. From North-America, behavioural training, i.e. dichoptic training, perceptual learning and video gaming, has become increasingly popular to improve visual acuity not only in children but also in adults. In this study we aim to compare the standard occlusion therapy with dichoptic video gaming.
