To compare the efficacy of 1 hour/day of binocular game play 5 days per week plus spectacle
correction with spectacle correction only, for treatment of amblyopia in children 4 to <13
years of age.

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of 1 hour/day of binocular game play 5
days per week plus spectacle correction with spectacle correction only, for treatment of
amblyopia in children 4 to <13 years of age.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 4 to <13 years

2. Amblyopia associated with strabismus, anisometropia, or both (previously treated or
untreated)

1. Criteria for strabismic amblyopia: At least one of the following must be met:

- Presence of a heterotropia on examination at distance or near fixation (with
or without optical correction, must be no more than 5pd by SPCT at near
fixation (see #6 below)

- Documented history of strabismus which is no longer present (which in the
judgment of the investigator could have caused amblyopia)

2. Criteria for anisometropia: At least one of the following criteria must be met:

- ≥1.00 D difference between eyes in spherical equivalent

- ≥1.50 D difference in astigmatism between corresponding meridians in the two
eyes

3. Criteria for combined-mechanism amblyopia: Both of the following criteria must be
met:

- Criteria for strabismus are met (see above)

- ≥1.00 D difference between eyes in spherical equivalent OR ≥1.50 D
difference in astigmatism between corresponding meridians in the two eyes

3. No amblyopia treatment other than optical correction in the past 2 weeks (patching,
atropine, Bangerter, vision therapy, binocular treatment)

4. Requirements for required refractive error correction (based on a cycloplegic
refraction completed within the last 7 months):

- Hypermetropia of 2.50 D or more by spherical equivalent (SE)

- Myopia of amblyopic eye of 0.50D or more SE

- Astigmatism of 1.00D or more

- Anisometropia of more than 0.50D SE

NOTE: Subjects with cycloplegic refractive errors that do not fall within the
requirements above for spectacle correction may be given spectacles at investigator
discretion but must follow the study-specified prescribing guidelines, as detailed
below.

1. Spectacle prescribing instructions referenced to the cycloplegic refraction
completed within the last 7 months:

- SE must be within 0.50D of fully correcting the anisometropia.

- SE must not be under corrected by more than 1.50D SE, and reduction in plus
sphere must be symmetric in the two eyes.

- Cylinder power in both eyes must be within 0.50D of fully correcting the
astigmatism.

- Axis must be within +/- 10 degrees if cylinder power is ≤1.00D, and within
+/- 5 degrees if cylinder power is >1.00D.

- Myopia must not be undercorrected by more than 0.25D or over corrected by
more than 0.50D SE, and any change must be symmetrical in the two eyes.

2. Spectacle correction meeting the above criteria must be worn:

- For at least 16 weeks OR until VA stability is documented (defined as <0.1
logMAR change by the same testing method measured on 2 consecutive exams at
least 8 weeks apart).

- For determining VA stability (non-improvement):

- The first of two measurements may be made 1) in current spectacles, or
2) in trial frames with or without cycloplegia or 3) without correction
(if new correction is prescribed),

- The second measurement must be made without cycloplegia in the correct
spectacles that have been worn for at least 8 weeks.

- Note: since this determination is a pre-study procedure, the method of
measuring VA is not mandated.

5. VA, measured in each eye without cycloplegia in current spectacle correction (if
applicable) within 7 days prior to randomization using the ATS-HOTV VA protocol for
children < 7 years and the E-ETDRS VA protocol for children ≥ 7 years on a
study-approved device displaying single surrounded optotypes, as follows:

1. VA in the amblyopic eye 20/40 to 20/200 inclusive (ATS-HOTV) or 33 to 72 letters
(E-ETDRS)

2. VA in the fellow eye 20/25 or better (ATS-HOTV) or ≥ 78 letters (E-ETDRS)

3. Interocular difference ≥ 3 logMAR lines (ATS-HOTV) or ≥ 15 letters (E-ETDRS)

6. Heterotropia with a near deviation of ≤ 5∆ (measured by SPCT) in habitual correction
(Angles of ocular deviation >5∆ are not allowed because large magnitudes of the
deviation would compromise successful playing of the game.)

7. Subject is able to play the Dig Rush game (at least level 3) on the study iPad under
binocular conditions (with red-green glasses). Subject must be able to see both the
red "diggers" and blue "gold carts" when contrast for the non-amblyopic eye is at 20%.

8. Investigator is willing to prescribe computer game play, or continued spectacle wear
per protocol.

9. Parent understands the protocol and is willing to accept randomization.

10. Parent has phone (or access to phone) and is willing to be contacted by Jaeb Center
staff or other study staff.

11. Relocation outside of area of an active PEDIG site for this study within the next 8
weeks is not anticipated.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prism in the spectacle correction at time of enrollment (eligible only if prism is
discontinued 2 weeks prior to enrollment).

2. Myopia greater than -6.00D spherical equivalent in either eye.

3. Previous intraocular or refractive surgery.

4. Any treatment for amblyopia (patching, atropine, Bangerter filter, vision therapy or
previous binocular treatment) during the past 2 weeks. Previous amblyopia therapy is
allowed regardless of type, but must be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to
enrollment.

5. Ocular co-morbidity that may reduce VA determined by an ocular examination performed
within the past 7 months (Note: nystagmus per se does not exclude the subject if the
above VA criteria are met).

6. No Down syndrome or cerebral palsy

7. No severe developmental delay that would interfere with treatment or evaluation (in
the opinion of the investigator). Subjects with mild speech delay or reading and/or
learning disabilities are not excluded.

8. Subject has demonstrated previous low compliance with binocular treatment and/or
spectacle treatment (as assessed informally by the investigator)
