“…The treatment of amblyopia involves depriving the vision of the better eye, eliminating suppression of the amblyopic eye and performing visual exercises that promote recovery of the visual acuity of amblyopic eye. 28 Amblyopia can impact quality of life because of its effect on patients’ ability to perform sports and physical activities, social activities and their career of choice 29,30 ; moreover, it can cause depression or anxiety in amblyopic patients. 10 The amblyopic treatment challenges involve the parents when the parents are uncertain about the benefits of the treatment and are under stress or have relationship pressure.…”

Purpose: Amblyopia is the most common cause of unilateral visual impairment. This study investigated parents’ awareness of amblyopia in different regions of Saudi Arabia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional population study. The survey consisted of two main sections; the first section contained 13 general background questions, and the second section (10 questions) focused on awareness of amblyopia, routine vision checks and how to raise awareness of amblyopia in the community. The survey was distributed to respondents using email and social media. Results: The responses of 1649 families were received. Respondents’ age range was from 22–62 years (mean ± standard deviation = 33.6 ± 8.7 years). Most respondents had no previous knowledge of amblyopia (1155 participants, 70%), and 313 participants (19%) had no idea if their children had amblyopia. In total, 990 participants (60%) did not visit the eye clinic with their children for a routine eye exam. A total of 495 parents (30%), who were aware of amblyopia, knew of it mainly from eye clinic visits and from Internet websites. A total of 140 respondents reported that their children had amblyopia; 58.3% of those children underwent routine eye examinations once a year, and the rest underwent routine eye examinations twice a year. Conclusion: The results clearly showed a lack of amblyopia awareness among the Saudi community. This lack of awareness can lead to visual impairment among children. More efficient efforts are urgently needed from health professionals, education centres, the media and social organizations to promote awareness of amblyopia.

“…Two studies [21,111] evaluated the efficacy of the use of extended reality for interactive and immersive binocular treatment for amblyopia. Lee et al [111] randomized 22 children with amblyopia (mean age 8.7 years, SD 1.3) to treatment with virtual reality videogaming on an unspecified virtual reality-head-mounted display (n=7), virtual reality videogaming and Bangerter foil (n=5), or Bangerter foil only (n=10), achieving an OCEBM evidence level of 2b. Two of 7 (29%) of patients in the virtual reality videogaming group, and 2 of 5 (40%) patients in the virtual reality videogaming with Bangerter foil group gained more than 0.2 in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution of vision.…”

Background: Virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality make use of a variety of different software and hardware, but they share three main characteristics: immersion, presence, and interaction. The umbrella term for technologies with these characteristics is extended reality. The ability of extended reality to create environments that are otherwise impossible in the real world has practical implications in the medical discipline. In ophthalmology, virtual reality simulators have become increasingly popular as tools for surgical education. Recent developments have also explored diagnostic and therapeutic uses in ophthalmology.Objective: This systematic review aims to identify and investigate the utility of extended reality in ophthalmic education, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials. Publications from January 1, 1956 to April 15, 2020 were included. Inclusion criteria were studies evaluating the use of extended reality in ophthalmic education, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Eligible studies were evaluated using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine levels of evidence. Relevant studies were also evaluated using a validity framework. Findings and relevant data from the studies were extracted, evaluated, and compared to determine the utility of extended reality in ophthalmology.Results: We identified 12,490 unique records in our literature search; 87 met final eligibility criteria, comprising studies that evaluated the use of extended reality in education (n=54), diagnostics (n=5), and therapeutics (n=28). Of these, 79 studies (91%) achieved evidence levels in the range 2b to 4, indicating poor quality. Only 2 (9%) out of 22 relevant studies addressed all 5 sources of validity evidence. In education, we found that ophthalmic surgical simulators demonstrated efficacy and validity in improving surgical performance and reducing complication rates. Ophthalmoscopy simulators demonstrated efficacy and validity evidence in improving ophthalmoscopy skills in the clinical setting. In diagnostics, studies demonstrated proof-of-concept in presenting ocular imaging data on extended reality platforms and validity in assessing the function of patients with ophthalmic diseases. In therapeutics, heads-up surgical systems had similar complication rates, procedural success rates, and outcomes in comparison with conventional ophthalmic surgery. Conclusions:Extended reality has promising areas of application in ophthalmology, but additional high-quality comparative studies are needed to assess their roles among incumbent methods of ophthalmic education, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

“…ku, ale również widzenia przestrzennego, w porównaniu z terapią jednooczną [33]. Badania dzieci również sugerują, że terapia stymulująca widzenie obuoczne jest korzystna, szczególnie w resztkowym niedowidzeniu, po półrocznym leczeniu obturacyjnym [34]. Wyniki wielu badań nie są jednak jednoznaczne i potrzeba dalszych analiz określających korelację między czasem prowadzenia terapii a indywidualną odpowiedzią pacjenta.…”
