Novel Amblyopia Treatment With Virtual Reality Games

Conditions

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to compare the change in amblyopic eye acuity between treatment periods in children with amblyopia, aged 5-17 years. The main question it aims to answer is: Is a 16-week course of amblyopia treatment using Vivid Vision Therapeutic (Dichoptic) Virtual Reality Games for approx. 25 min/day, 6 days/week more effective for improvement in amblyopic-eye VA, binocularity (stereoacuity, suppression, alignment), contrast sensitivity, attention, oculomotor function, visual-motor integration, and quality of life than 16 weeks of continued glasses alone? Participants will each serve as their own control and complete: Treatment period 1: Continued optical correction (glasses) alone for 16 weeks; Treatment period 2: Vivid Vision Therapeutic (Dichoptic) Virtual Reality Games for 16 weeks (approx. 25min/day, 6 days/week) plus continued optical correction

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:5 Years to 17 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:CHILD
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Moderate to severe unilateral amblyopia (logMAR best corrected visual acuity 0.3 to 1.3) associated with anisometropia and/or strabismus of ≤5pd
  2. * Age normal VA in the nonamblyopic eye
  3. * Spectacle correction (if required) worn for at least 16 weeks, or until stability of VA is demonstrated (\<0.1 logMAR change by the same testing method measured on 2 exams at least 8 weeks apart)
  4. * Interocular difference of ≥ 3 lines
  5. * No amblyopia treatment in the past 2 weeks
  6. * An interpupillary distance of 52-72 mm (inclusive)
  1. * Myopia greater than -6.00 diopters (D) spherical equivalent in either eye.
  2. * Previous intraocular or refractive surgery.
  3. * Previous dichoptic treatment \> 2 weeks in duration
  4. * Ocular co-morbidity that may reduce visual acuity determined by an ocular examination performed within the past 7 months (Note: nystagmus per se does not exclude the participant if the above visual acuity criteria are met).
  5. * Diplopia more than once per week over the last week prior to enrollment by parental report.
  6. * Down syndrome or cerebral palsy.
  7. * Light-induced seizures
  8. * Known simulator sickness
  9. * Severe developmental delay that would interfere with treatment or evaluation (in the opinion of the investigator). Participants with mild speech delay or reading and/or learning disabilities are not excluded.
