We present three cases where traditional occlusion therapy with an eye patch proved ineffective for treating amblyopia associated with fusion maldevelopment nystagmus. In these cases, we transitioned to dichoptic therapy using the Occlu-pad, achieving successful outcomes. Eye patch occlusion of the sound eye consistently exacerbated nystagmus, whereas dichoptic treatment did not.

Purpose: To determine the clinical pattern and burden of strabismus in a teaching institute of Northeast (NE) India.
Methods: In this hospital-based, cross-sectional study, detailed clinical evaluation of patients with manifest strabismus was carried out for a period of one and half years.
Results: Out of the 7222 new outpatient department attendances, a total of 110 new patients with manifest strabismus were found, with a hospital-based burden of 1.

Here, we investigate the shift in eye balance in response to monocular cueing in adults with amblyopia. In normally sighted adults, biasing attention toward one eye, by presenting a monocular visual stimulus to it, can shift eye balance toward the stimulated eye, as measured by binocular rivalry. We investigated whether we can modulate eye balance by directing monocular stimulation/attention in adults with clinical binocular deficits associated with amblyopia and larger eye imbalances.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between fixation stability deficits in anisometropic amblyopia and various visual functions, as well as the underlying retinal structure.
Methods: All 164 patients with anisometropic amblyopia were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) was measured using the qCSF method, whereas the MP-3 microperimeter was used to assess fixation stability and locate the preferred retinal locus.
