Effect of active vision therapy on task-based saccadic and smooth pursuit performance in children with anisometropic amblyopia.

Both groups improved in BCVA, and task-based saccadic and smooth pursuit performance (p < 0.05) in the Active Vision Therapy-occlusion group.

Significant time × therapy interactions were found for BCVA, task-based saccadic and smooth pursuit performance, and contrast sensitivity (p ≤ 0.03).

Greater gain in task-based saccadic (ρ=-0.43, p = 0.006) and smooth pursuit (ρ=-0.53, p = 0.001) performance correlated with BCVA improvement; faster saccadic response performance (ρ=0.35, p = 0.026) correlated with better stereopsis.
