Virtual Reality–Based Program for Pediatric Patients With Amblyopia: Protocol for a Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Two-Arm Study
This study will clarify the effectiveness of the newly developed VR app in improving treatment outcomes and adherence among pediatric patients with amblyopia. By addressing the limitations of conventional occlusion therapy and providing a potentially more efficacious and acceptable treatment option, the VR app may enhance clinical outcomes and represent a paradigm shift in the treatment of pediatric amblyopia.
