Binocular amblyopia home treatment: The next step after patching
The article discusses a study comparing the efficacy of a binocular, eye-tracking-based home treatment for amblyopia, CureSight, developed by NovaSight, against traditional patching. The study, published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, involved 149 children aged 4 to 9 years and demonstrated that CureSight is at least as effective as patching in improving visual acuity. CureSight encourages binocular vision, reducing interocular suppression, and showed higher adherence rates compared to patching. The study found that both treatments improved visual acuity, with CureSights improvement margin within the acceptable range of noninferiority to patching. The findings suggest that CureSight is a safe and engaging alternative to patching, with significant benefits for patients.

CureSight demonstrates greater visual acuity gains vs. patching in patients with amblyopia
NovaSights CureSight digital eye-tracking system has demonstrated superiority over traditional patching methods in treating amblyopia, according to a study published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology. The study involved 149 children aged 4 to under 9 years, comparing the CureSight system with patching over a 16-week period. Results showed a significant improvement in visual acuity and treatment adherence in the CureSight group. The mean improvement in visual acuity was 0.28 logMAR for CureSight users compared to 0.23 logMAR for those using patches. Adherence to the CureSight regimen was also higher at 94% compared to 83.9% for patching. This breakthrough highlights NovaSights innovative approach to amblyopia treatment.

Israeli 3D Glasses To Combat Lazy Eye
NovaSight, an Israeli startup, has developed a new treatment for lazy eye (amblyopia) that allows children to treat their condition at home. The treatment, called CureSight, uses a specially developed tablet device and 3D-vision glasses to track the gaze of both eyes in real time using an AI sensor. The child watches any streamed video content of their choice through red-blue treatment glasses, which stimulate the brain to use the information of the lazy eye to process the fine details. The treatment has been found to be more effective than traditional patch treatment, with 79% of patients experiencing better vision correction after four months of use.

NovaSight CureSight (TM) Wins 2023 MedTech Breakthrough Award
NovaSights CureSight binocular digital treatment system for amblyopia (lazy eye) has been named Best New Technology Solution for Ophthalmology in the 7th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program. CureSight is an FDA-cleared and CE marked eye-tracking based amblyopia treatment system, designed to replace traditional eye patching. The treatment is carried out while the patient watches his favorite streamed content from home. The CureSight system blurs the center of vision of the dominant eye, while providing the amblyopic eye with a normal, high contrast image. This stimulates the brain to complete the blurred image from the amblyopic eye, improving its acuity and developing stereoacuity as the eyes learn to work together.
