Purpose- The aim of the study is to compare visual functions of children with uncorrected amblyopia treated with different binocular I Pad games and/or patching. Methods- Children with untreated amblyopia were enrolled in this pilot study. Children were divided into three groups: children treated with patching only, children attributed to play binocular snake I Pad game with patching, children attributed to play binocular blocks I Pad game with patching. Visual acuity VA, refraction, stereo acuity test, and ocular alignment tests were performed for all participants in the first visit and 4 weeks after starting treatment. Visual functions were compared between both visits. Results- A total of 18 children with untreated amblyopia participated in this study. Children were divided into three groups: Group 1= 8 children treated with patching only, Group 2= 5 children attributed to play binocular snake I Pad game with patching, and Group 3= 5 children attributed to play binocular blocks I Pad game with patching. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in gender and age between the three groups. Children showed good compliance to all patching treatment and I pad games groups. After 4 weeks, Visual acuity was improved in all amblyopic children in the form of one line improvement in patching group, two lines with binocular snake I Pad game and three lines with binocular blocks I Pad game. Moreover, stereoacuity was improved in all groups with greatest advance in blocks games group followed by snake group then patching group. Conclusion- This study demonstrated great effectiveness of both snake, and blocks binocular I Pad games on visual functions improvement for treatment of amblyopia. These games can contribute with patching in achieving better VA and stereoacuity enhancement in a shorter duration than patching alone.
