Official Title: The Use of Interactive Binocular Treatment (I-BiT) for the Management of Anisometropic, Strabismic and Mixed Amblyopia in Children Aged 3.5 - 12 Years

Brief Summary:

Around one child in fifty has a lazy eye (termed amblyopia) where the eye is structurally normal but the vision fails to develop correctly. Around half of these children also have a squint (strabismus) where each eye has a different direction of gaze. This condition is the commonest cause of visual impairment in one eye in children.

This is a randomised control trial of wearing glasses alone (which will result in some visual improvement, termed refractive adaptation) and wearing glasses combined with using I-BiT Plus.

The hypothesis is that using I-BiT Plus will result in an improved visual outcome.
