25.01.2022 Prof Mark Radford is an investigator involved in the Amblyopica study, sponsored by Amblyoptica (Holding) Pty Ltd, which is currently recruiting patients with amblyopia secondary to anisometropia and/or strabismus. This trial aims to test the efficacy of the Amblyoptica device for treating amblyopic reduced visual function associated with high refractive errors and/or a turned eye in adults and children older than age 8 years. The treatment involves wearing a head-mounted mec...hanical device for a period of time each day for 6 weeks. The patients will be monitored for 6 months. Subjects will be required to wear their optimum optical correction in spectacles or contact lenses for a stabilisation period of at least 6 weeks prior to treatment and during the treatment period. Subjects will have their refraction assessed at the initial examination and a new optimum prescription offered. If you are interested in receiving more information on being involved in the trial, which is being undertaken at the Queensland Eye Institute in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, please reply via a private message with you contact details or through the message centre at www.amblyoptica.com.
22.01.2022 Ethics Committee have requested some clarification but deemed the trial as ethical. We will address these issues and hope to move forward soon!

21.01.2022 Ethics application ready to submit. Organising insurance cover for the trial now. Hope to have dotted the "i" and crossed the "t" by Friday. These things can't be hurried.
20.01.2022 Well followers and friends of Amblyoptica, it is official, we were successful in securing a Queensland Government Ignite Ideas Grant. This will allow us to progress our clinical trial, subject to ethics approval, with the Queensland Eye Institute. If you know any "straight eyed", that is non-strabismus, people with lazy eye (amblyopia) who may be interested in being potentially involved in an approved clinical trial, ask them to go to www.amblyoptica.com and send us a messag...e via the portal there. They would ideally need to be in SE Queensland. Contacting Amblyoptica would not guarantee acceptance into any trial and the trial is yet to achieve ethics approval. No payment would be made to any volunteers accepted into an approved trial.
