Summary
This study tested a personalized vision therapy program for 38 children aged 4-18 with amblyopia (lazy eye) that did not respond to standard treatments like patching. The therapy was tailored to each child's visual and cognitive skills, aiming to improve how the brain processes visual information. The goal was to see if this approach could enhance binocular vision and other visual abilities.
