MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized control trial was carried out in 30 subjects with all grades of amblyopia (age range: 4 to 12 years). Subjects with unilateral amblyopia having visual acuity in the amblyopic eye between 6/60 – 6/12 and in the sound eye > 6/12, two or more lines of inter eye visual acuity difference and using refractive correction for at least 4 weeks were included in this study. Subjects who had undergone any form of amblyopia treatment or surgery in the past, with reduced visual acuity due to presence of any organic cause, having myopia with a spherical equivalent of -6 D or greater in the amblyopic eye, receiving any other visual therapy or orthoptics or having known skin reaction to patch or adhesive bandage were excluded from the study. All the subjects used the best optical correction available during the entire cour
