Aims and objectives of the MOTAS study

Overall aim
To determine the dose-response relation for occlusion therapy as a function of age and category of amblyopia
Specific objectives
1To monitor objectively occlusion dose longitudinally throughout occlusion treatment
2To record changes in visual performance longitudinally while children with amblyopia undergo occlusion therapy
3To incorporate (1) and (2) above into a dose-response model of occlusion treatment and visual outcome as a function of age and category of amblyopia
4To derive from the dose-response model, candidate occlusion regimens suitable for inclusion within randomised controlled trials of treatment effectiveness
