AIM: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Energie EyeRelaxä therapy to improve vision of amblyopic Chinese school children in 90 days.

METHODS: Seventeen schoolchildren age 8 – 11 years old participated in this prospective and single site study. All subjects were required to perform the Energie EyeRelaxä therapy twice a day for 90 days. The primary outcome measure was the 90-day change in unaided visual acuity and refractive error. Generalised linear latent and mixed models (GLLAMM) were applied to perform the analysis, while correcting for gender, age, baseline refractive error and visual acuity. Data were analysed with Stata 10.0 (Stata Corp, Texas, USA) and all statistical tests were conducted at 5% level of significance.

RESULTS: The right and left eye unaided visual acuity in LogMAR score was improved from 0.53 ± 0.23 at baseline to 0.21 ± 0.18 at 90 days and from 0.50 ± 0.19 at baseline to 0.18 ± 0.22 at 90 days respectively. The right and left eye refractive error was decreased from -1.01 ± 1.01D at baseline to -0.71 ± 0.87D at 90 days and from -1.11 ± 0.88D at baseline to -0.71 ± 0.89D at 90 days respectively. The overall trend of visual improvement over time was found to be significant. 

CONCLUSION: There is evidence suggesting that Energie EyeRelaxä therapy is effective in improving vision in amblyopic Chinese school children. Further investigations in other visual functions need to be conducted to support the use of Energie EyeRelaxä therapy.
