Comparison of Binocular Spectacle Prescription Versus Patching Therapy in Refractive Amblyopia Patients

Binocular Spectacle prescription are therapeutic tools used to correct refractive errors in visually impaired patients. They improve Visual acuity as well as other visual functions in Amblyopic and visual impairment patients. They stimulate weaker eye to generate visual impulse and stimulate visual cortex to improve stereopsis and fusion.

Patching therapy is a gold standard tool used world wide to correct visual acuity in amblyopic patients. This tool is used by occluding stronger eye with a patch or bandage or fogging lens and stimulating amblyopic eye to generate visual stimulus to motivate visual cortex.
