Abstract
This prospective case report was carried out to investigate the effect of electronic gadget use during amblyopic therapy in a 5-year-old child with monocular hyperopia of +6DS. The child received glasses and underwent patching therapy for the amblyopic left eye while using electronic devices. The therapy successfully improved visual acuity over two years, an unexpected development of with-the-rule astigmatism in the left eye raised concerns about the role of gadget use in astigmatism development. This prospective case report highlights the efficacy of patching therapy combined with gadget, but suggests the need for further investigation of the potential risks of developing astigmatism.
