Abstract

BYNOCS is a uniquely designed & comprehensive cloud based dichoptic therapy software for binocular vision assessment and therapy.

48 children with anisometropic or ametropic amblyopia and refractive error, aged 4-16 years (mean 8.4 years) underwent BYNOCS therapy at their homes as part of amblyopia treatment with informed consent after discontinuation of prescribed patching regimen. Uncorrected & corrected visual acuity with LOGMAR charts and Binocular vision test with TNO was measured pre and post BYNOCS therapy.

Therapy included 30 sessions of bynocs software computer exercises in their home and patients were followed up for average 4 months period.

After the therapy,improvement in stereopsis was statistically significant (p= 0.051 by mc Nemar Test).

Pretherapy 22.5% had corrected vision of 6/9 while posttherapy 35% had corrected vision of 6/9 ( p <0.01). Bynocs allowed visual acuity and stereopsis of children to be improved in their homes for four month period.
