About this trial
This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of AR training with patching for the treatment of unilateral amblyopia.
Specific Aim 1 (Primary): To compare the improvement of visual acuity in the amblyopic eye between AR training and patching for the treatment of unilateral amblyopia.
Specific Aim 2 (Secondary): To compare the improvement of visual functions between AR training and patching for the treatment of unilateral amblyopia.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
