Background: Amblyopia (lazy eye) affects the vision of approximately 2% of all children. Traditional treatment
consists of wearing a patch over their ‘good’ eye for a number of hours daily, over several months. This treatment is
unpopular and compl... Read More about Evaluation and development of a novel binocular treatment (I-BiT™) system using video clips and interactive games to improve vision in children with amblyopia (‘lazy eye’): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
