TLDR
Using a combination of psychophysical, electrophysiological, imaging, risk factor analysis, and fine motor skill assessment, the primary role of binocular dysfunction in the genesis of amblyopia and the constellation of visual and motor deficits that accompany the visual acuity deficit has been identified.About:

Stereopsis and amblyopia: A mini-review
TL;DR: A review of the literature suggests that this impairment may have a substantial impact on visuomotor tasks, difficulties in playing sports in children and locomoting safely in older adults as mentioned in this paper.

Amblyopia and the binocular approach to its therapy.
Robert F. Hess,Benjamin Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: The therapeutic effects of binocular therapy and non-invasive brain stimulation are interpreted in the context of three potential neural mechanisms; active inhibition of signals from the amblyopic eye, attenuation of information from the ambush eye and metaplasticity of synaptic long term potentiation and long term depression.

A dichoptic custom-made action video game as a treatment for adult amblyopia
Indu Vedamurthy,Mor Nahum,Samuel J. Huang,Frank Zheng,Jessica D. Bayliss,Daphne Bavelier,Dennis M. Levi +6 more
TL;DR: This novel video game, which combines action gaming, perceptual learning and dichoptic presentation, results in VA improvements equivalent to those previously documented with each of these techniques alone, suggesting that this approach has promise for the treatment of adult amblyopia.

Binocular iPad Game vs Patching for Treatment of Amblyopia in Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
TL;DR: A binocular iPad game was effective in treating childhood amblyopia and was more efficacious than patching at the 2-week visit, and improvement in amblyopic eye best-corrected visual acuity was greater with the binocular game compared with patching after 2 weeks of treatment.

Binocular vision in amblyopia: structure, suppression and plasticity
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide an overview of recent studies that have investigated the structure, measurement and treatment of binocular vision in observers with strabismic, anisometropic and mixed amblyopia.

Dietary fibre, transit-time, faecal bacteria, steroids, and colon cancer in two Scandinavian populations. Report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer Intestinal Microecology Group.
R Maclennan,O M Jensen +1 more
TL;DR: A comparison of dietary intake and faecal characteristics in population samples from two areas of Denmark and Finland with 4-fold variation in colon-cancer incidence suggests that the aetiology of colon cancer may be multifactorial and is not associated in a simple manner with dietary fat, neutral steroids, acid steroids, or their bacterial metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pattern of visual deficits in amblyopia.
TL;DR: Representing the data in this space reveals distinctive distributions of visual loss for different patient categories, and suggests that two consequences of the associated conditions--reduced resolution and loss of binocularity--determine the pattern of visual deficit.

TL;DR: Both treatments were well tolerated, although atropine had a slightly higher degree of acceptability on a parental questionnaire and more patients in the atropin group had reduced acuity in the sound eye at 6 months, but this did not persist with further follow-up.

TL;DR: When combined with prescribing 1 hour of near visual activities, 2 hours of daily patching produces an improvement in visual acuity that is of similar magnitude to the improvement produced by 6 hours ofdaily patching in treating moderate amblyopia in children aged 3 to 7 years.
