Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: wearing the full corrected refraction for ≥14 weeks to adapt to the glasses diagnosed with an unilateral anisometropic, strabismic and/or deprivation amblyopia. Amblyopia was defined as an intraocular difference (IOD) in visual acuity (VA) of 0.2 log MAR (2 lines) or more. Angle of strabismus ≤ 10 prism diopters at near and distance fixation. Current clear media (in case of deprivation amblyopia after successful surgery). currently under treatment or starting treatment for unilateral amblyopia participants must have easy access to an Android device equal to or higher than a Samsung Galaxy S8 written informed consent by parents or legal guardians Exclusion Criteria: current treatment with atropine penalisation documented history of severe negative side effects that occur with exposure to VR usage (eg. seizures or epileptic spasms) photosensitivity no developmental delay coexisting ocular pathology or systemic diseases

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Vedea Amblyopia Therapy (VAT) then Vedea Amblyopia Therapy
Occlusion therapy then Vedea Amblyopia Therapy (VAT)
Children in this intervention arm will use the VAT for 16 weeks. After the initial 16 weeks of treatment these children will be allowed to use the VAT for another 16 weeks.
Children in this intervention arm will adhere to a 'care as usual' regimen consisting of occlusion therapy as prescribed by their health care provider. They will do so for 16 weeks. After the initial 16 weeks of treatment these children will crossover into the experimental arm to examine if they are still responsive to the VAT after already completing 16 weeks of traditional treatment.
