Amblyopia interferes in the critical period of visual development among children. Due to the limitations of conventional management of patching therapy, in the recent decade digital screen based binocular vision therapy was introduced. We aimed to study the awareness and attitude of eye care practitioners towards digital screen based binocular vision therapy in management of amblyopia. The study has been conducted by constructing and validating a questionnaire. The questionnaire was validated through a pilot study. Around 104 eye care practitioners responded to the survey, showing 96% of the eye care practitioners’ awareness towards refractive correction as the first line of management for amblyopia. A high number of respondents (83%) were aware of prescribing computer-based video games for amblyopia therapy in the clinical practice. 'The visual function improvement is very much feasible with digital screen based binocular vision therapy’ was the opinion of 55% (n=52) of eye care practitioners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
