All patients underwent minimum of 10 sessions each session lasting for 60 minutes. Visual acuity, Stereopsis, BSV and amount of strabismus were measured at the end of 10th session. RESULTS Mean improvement in logmar visual acuity in Right eye was from 0.195 to 0.082 and in left eye was from 0.263 to 0.114. 63%of anisometropic amblyopia, 50%of strabismic, 37% of ametropic and18% of deprivational amblyopia patients showed improvement.
