Outcomes (as defined in study)
Please specify which
Primary outcome
Mean distance (3, 4 or 6 m) BCVA in the amblyopic eye at 12 months after the cessation of the interventions in logMAR units on an age‐appropriate acuity test.
Secondary outcomes
  • main secondary outcome: mean distance (3, 4 or 6 m) BCVA in the amblyopic eye at any timepoint during or after cessation of treatment in logMAR units on an age‐appropriate acuity test

  • proportion of change in BCVA defined as “(BCVA of amblyopic eye at start – BCVA of amblyopic eye at end of treatment)/(BCVA of amblyopic eye at start – BCVA of fellow eye at end of treatment)” (Stewart 2003)

  • stereopsis 12 months after cessation of treatment in seconds of arc

  • stereopsis at any timepoint during or after cessation of treatment in seconds of arc

  • proportion of participants achieving normal stereoacuity score of 60 seconds of arc or better 12 months after cessation of treatment

  • proportion of participants achieving normal stereoacuity score of 60 seconds of arc or better at any timepoint during or after cessation of treatment

  • proportion of participants with improvement in stereoacuity of 2 log levels or more (with 2 levels being the test‐retest variability for stereoacuity tests) at 12 months after cessation of treatment (Adams 2009; Wallace 2011)

  • proportion of participants with improvement in stereoacuity of 2 log levels or more at any timepoint during or after cessation of treatment

  • mean change in stereoacuity in log seconds of arc defined as "stereoacuity at start ‐ stereoacuity at end of treatment"

  • compliance or adherence to interventions as daily dose in hours/day, determined by occlusion dose monitors, electronic compliance measures of binocular treatments, or parental treatment diaries (ratio of received dose/prescribed daily dose)

  • compliance or adherence to interventions as total dose, determined by occlusion dose monitors, electronic compliance measures of binocular treatments, or parental treatment diaries (ratio of received dose/prescribed total dose)

  • impact of treatment on quality of life measured by a validated tool such as CAT‐QoL (Carlton 2013) or ATI (Felius 2010)

  • proportion of participants experiencing adverse events such as diplopia (double vision) or loss of BCVA > 1 line in either eye

  • proportion of participants experiencing regression of BCVA in the amblyopic eye to baseline level (Malik 1975) or recurrence defined as a 2 or more logMAR lines (0.2 logMAR)

  • deterioration in amblyopic eye BCVA (Holmes 2004) 12 months after cessation of treatment

  • where available, we will include analysis of cost‐effectiveness or cost‐utility of treatments
