Thank you, The MNT Team. FDA Approved Amblyopia Treatment From RevitalVision Posted by Dennis Depenbusch on 21 Jun 2010 at 2:15 pm The RevitalVision Amblyopia program uses perceptual learning to improve amblyopia and is the only existing treatment for amblyopia approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is approved for individuals over the age of 9 with best corrected vision of 20/100 or better who have minor strabismus of 8 prism diopters or less. The RevitalVision program involves no surgery or drugs and is individualized to every patients visual ability. The patient takes the program on their home computer using applied perceptual learning techniques which improve neural performance.
During neural training sessions, a series of visual tasks and repetitive images train the brain and improve viual processing. RevitalVision analyzes performance and continuously adjusts the individually customized training sessions to substantially improve vision.
Amblyopic patients', on average, improved their vision by more than two lines on an eye chart and increased their contrast sensitivity by more than 100% after completing the program. The program is 40 training sessions of 40 minutes each, on average. Once the training sessions are completed, since the program involves neural training, its effects are long lasting.

Over the last 20 years I only wear glasses for reading and find them less and less useful. I am now 40 and my weak eye gets so tired it is causeing lots of problems for me. Please can you advise on ways to treat one bad eye working with a good eye, I live in the UK. ﹘ This opinion has been moderated by MNT Staff.
Lazy Eye Cured Posted by Carolyn on 11 May 2012 at 9:48 am I have dealt with this my whole life. And like many of you know how it can affect your everyday life. I was never told anything could be done for me but two years ago I met a wonderful doctor who cured me!! And now not only are my eyes straight but i can use both at the same time!! And see in 3D (so cool).
Doctor said that is not common response to surgery. I suggest having the alignment surgery (Dr didn't even recommend the pt afterwords which i was told was mandatory by referring physician) Good Luck to anyone dealing with this.

Thankfully, both eyes are focused but when I cover the good eye, the refraction is ridiculous.seems like my nose is veiling my field of vision so that I only have a sliver of use & that use is pretty useless for any detail.

When both eyes are open, bad eye exhibits only peripheral vision. Last year my overall vision worsened to the point where I need magnifying glasses for any sort of reading. I'd love for Carolyn to shed more light on how she was cured & for Dr.
Lu to provide some sort of update.we've all been waiting since we were kids for this.thank you, in advance. ﹘ This opinion has been moderated by MNT Staff.
Amblyopia Posted by Jeff on 11 Jun 2012 at 4:33 am I think it's great to hear about the diffrent things I read on line about how to correct amblyopia and even how to correct it with vision therapy, Now their is something about revitalvision. And to make matters worse their's no one in vermont that takes this traeatment, I went to a optometrist to try to improve my vision in my left amblyopic eye but was told I have accentric fixation.It was done so fast and was so upset when he said he couldn't help me. Thats all I hear is it's to late you have to deal with it.I bought an eye patch rhe day I was rejected by the eye doctor for vision therapy and out $130. I wear a patch about 2 hours a day and at times more, I'm 48 years old and if I could have a responce and any help in this matter that would be great. I have 20/400 in my left eye. ﹘ This opinion has been moderated by MNT Staff.
Caroline.more inf please. You've been fully cured from amblyopia Posted by angela d rojas rodriguez on 3 Nov 2012 at 8:11 am Caroline it looks like you are the only one here that have been fully cured from amblyopia.I also have it in my left eye.finger count( almost non sight ) right now I'm 36 and the problem is that my good eye is tire and my eyes become really red making me difficult to continue working in the computer after few hours.can you please provide more inf.thanks. ﹘ This opinion has been moderated by MNT Staff.

In the beginning my eye sight in my right eye was 20/70. The first few times i wore a patch, after about 20 min I would be so exhausted and irritable that I would have to immediately have to go to sleep. After a years of not treating due to the embarrassment of waring an eye path and frustration/difficulty. I decided to use an contact lens as the eye patch. So, I found a doctor that was willing to prescribe a fully blacked out contact, witch I wore with sunglasses. After about 80 erratic sessions my eye sight got to 20/40 and a big gain in reading comprehension.
I have found (with a little help from a doctor) that the best way to treat is to wear a patch in the morning for and hour. That way you encourage both eyes and subsequently the whole brain to take part in the days activities. I do have to warn you that this will bring on a lot of emotions that the people around you and your self will think strange; like irritation, fatigue, depression, anger, etc.
I can take several days to heal from an exercise. Eat well and plan this for a Saturday so that you have a day to rest if you have to work on Monday. The numerous gains that I have seen have been well worth the effort. Good luck to you.

Lazy Eyes Since I Was A Child Too, I Am 17 years Old Posted by Yap Wee Seong on 8 Dec 2013 at 10:40 am I am Malaysian Chinese from Malaysia and next year I will be going UK study foundation course and university, and I just sometimes use my left eye(lazy eye) trying to get well instead of getting any treatment. Besides I am very young I have my dream and I am very put effort on my study to become a great person. I only have my mother to pay for my study, so I need your help and I don't want to lose my eye and my dream. ﹘ This opinion has been moderated by MNT Staff.
The goal of “Therapeutic Review” always has been to enhance our colleagues’ understanding of ocular disorders and their clinical management. Typically, we discuss a particular pathological entity, such as macular degeneration or bacterial keratitis, and the current or emerging therapies available to combat the given condition. Generally, we have steered clear of visual disorders like amblyopia, myopia and presbyopia in this column––frankly, because most optometrists no longer consider these areas to be within the realm of therapeutics. Over time, ocular conditions that typically are managed with lenses and prisms have become dissociated from those that are treated with medications. Nonetheless, these fundamental areas of vision care remain at the core of optometry and indeed represent a significant portion of our day-to-day activity in clinical practice.
With that in mind, we were highly interested to learn of a new technology that seeks to address visual concerns with an unconventional approach––the Revital-Vision Training System. Based in Lawrence, Kans., RevitalVision provides a unique product intended to enhance vision in a variety of conditions without the use of lenses, medications or surgery.
Instead, this technology employs computer-based, neural visual therapy (NVT) in an attempt to improve functional visual performance for patients who desire an alternative to spectacles or refractive surgery. Show Me the Data! The science behind Revital-Vision is quite intriguing and dates back more than 20 years.
1,2 It relies on the visual and cortical impact of Gabor patches, which are sinusoidal gratings located within a Gaussian envelope that are often used as psychophysical stimuli. RevitalVision uses a series of grouped Gabor patches presented in succession at specific, individually designed frequencies, spatial arrangements, contrast levels, orientations and exposure durations to stimulate the visual centers within the cortex. Potential applications for this type of treatment include incipient presbyopia, low myopia, post-surgical (e.g., LASIK or cataract extraction) residual refractive error and sports vision, according to the company. But, at this time, adult amblyopia is the only clinical entity for which this technology has FDA approval. 3 Examples of Gabor patches, which are used in the RevitalVision programs.
In the most widely referenced study using the device, researchers evaluated 54 adult amblyopic patients who were randomized to receive either NVT or placebo vision training. 3 Each participant underwent two to four weekly treatment sessions that lasted approximately 30 minutes each (mean of 45 +/-15 sessions). At the study’s conclusion, visual acuity improved by an average of 2.5 lines (to 20/30) in the treatment group. 3 No improvement was observed in the control group.
Similarly, a commensurate increase in contrast sensitivity function was observed in treatment group participants. Encouragingly, the improvements in acuity and contrast sensitivity were sustained after 12 months. 4 Additional publications have documented visual improvement in patients with low myopia and early presbyopia who used RevitalVision’s NVT techniques. 5-8 Although none of these studies had particularly large patient populations, the results were notable. Subjects achieved between one and three lines of increased uncorrected visual acuity (logMAR scale) at both distance and near after using NVT.
5-7 While refractive error remained essentially unchanged in these subjects, visual performance––including contrast sensitivity––demonstrated significant enhancement. The authors suggested that this form of therapy might be a desirable option for patients who are dissatisfied with their uncorrected acuity following refractive surgery. 7,8 Likewise, they suggested that RevitalVision may appeal to emerging presbyopes who are discouraged by the thought of spectacle correction.
7,8 How Does it Work? The RevitalVision Training System is designed for in-home use on a patient’s personal computer. Each program is customized to match the patient’s pace and visual ability. Depending upon the product selected, sessions are completed three to four times per week, and are monitored remotely by the company.
Each of the 20 sessions takes an average of 20 to 30 minutes to complete for myopia or presbyopia training. The amblyopia package is a bit more intensive, however, consisting of 40 sessions that last approximately 40 minutes each. Throughout the training sessions, users are presented with a series of visual tasks designed to improve efficiency and visual processing. Software measures the contrast threshold of a Gabor target with the presence of flankers (e.g., Gabor patches on either side of a target Gabor). After exposure to two short, successive visual displays, the patient identifies which display contains three Gabors. Specialized algorithms analyze and continuously adjust the training sessions. The eye care provider measures contrast sensitivity and uncorrected visual acuity (both distance and near) at the initial consultation.
This information is then entered into the system’s database, and a brief trial session serves to further identify the patient’s neural inefficiencies. Once the preliminary program is generated, the patient downloads the RevitalVision software on his or her computer, and then may begin using the system at home. Then, upon completion of the treatment program, the prescribing eye care provider performs a final examination.
First Impressions As you might expect, this new technology has been extremely polarizing. Conventional thinking suggests that refractive blur cannot be overcome without lenses or surgery.
Likewise, we were all taught that amblyopia only could be effectively treated in childhood, before the visual system loses its inherent plasticity. Some well-respected individuals in optometry, ophthalmology and vision science have embraced this new technology after witnessing its results first-hand.
According to RevitalVision’s website, some early advocates include Richard L. Lindstrom, M.D., (Minneapolis, Minn.), John D. Hunkeler, M.D., Daniel S.
Durrie, M.D., and Kelly F. Grosdidier, O.D. (all of Overland Park, Kans.). A number of surgical practices now offer RevitalVision as an “alternative” option to spectacles, contact lenses, refractive surgery or surgical enhancements following LASIK. Vision training has a checkered history in our profession. Will optometrists embrace this new concept? If the positive early results are borne out by additional data demonstrating long-term persistence of a therapeutic effect, it could offer a viable intervention for a group of patients whose needs might otherwise go unmet.
When managing patients’ visual needs, it’s important to remember that not everyone fits into our conventional treatment algorithms. Emerging technology continues to explore new avenues and opportunities. We owe it to our patients to remain open to possibilities beyond the tried-and-true, while also taking care to manage patient expectations appropriately.
