Immersive virtual reality (VR) is recently being explored as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of amblyopia. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, usability and satisfaction obtained with the use of a novel VR system (NEIVATECH) to provide binocular vision training in previously treated older amblyopic children with non-compliance or non-response to patching. A prospective, multicentre, open-label, single-arm, pilot study was conducted in which the intervention under study was 9 h of therapy with the NEIVATECH system, distributed in 18 half-hour sessions spread over 1 month.

Here, we present the protocol of a small-scale RCT to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of a novel VR-based system designed to provide binocular vision training to children with anisometropic amblyopia.
Methods: We aim to recruit a total of 60 children with anisometropic amblyopia aged 5-17 years with no previous treatment for amblyopia other than refractive correction from the pediatric ophthalmology units of the University Clinical Hospital of Valladolid and the Vithas Medimar International Hospital of Alicante.

Article Synopsis
- - "Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum" is a birth defect where the upper and lower eyelids stick together partially or completely, typically remaining fused until about five months into pregnancy, with full separation occurring by the seventh month.
- - This condition can appear on its own or may be linked to other organ or system abnormalities.
- - A case study describes a newborn boy with a family history of a genetic condition (hypohydrotic ectodermal dysplasia) who had eyelid adhesions, cleft lip, missing palate, nail abnormalities, and extra nipples.
Purpose: To investigate potential risk factors for the progression of myopia.
Methods: Prospective study. Myopic progression was evaluated by cycloplegic autorefraction and axial length (AL) every 6 months in children 6 to 15 years old.
Purpose: To determine repeatability and agreement of the ARK-30 handheld autorefractor with retinoscopy under cycloplegic and noncycloplegic conditions in children.
Methods: Three consecutive autorefractor measurements (with and without cycloplegia) and retinoscopy were performed and compared in 30 randomized eyes of 30 children (mean age of 6.7 ± 2.
