A gamification product was developed to guide children with amblyopia to develop rehabilitation training habits by combining cognitive evaluation theory and occlusion therapy. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine the ease of use, acceptability and treatment compliance of the game.
The experimental group was subjected to a 20-minute daily, 4-week intervention experiment, which included a story background on the start page, eye patches to be put on according to the guidelines, fine eye training, and visual stimulation training, with short breaks between the different modes. The control group was given an experimental intervention using a competing product, with the same duration and format as the experimental group. After completion of the intervention, the participating children completed the MMAS-8 adherence scale with the help of their parents.

RECRUITING8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8):
A patient's adherence to therapy can be evaluated using the eight-question Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8).The total score of the MMAS-8 scale is the sum of the scores of the above 8 questions, and the score range is 0\~8. Higher scores indicate better medication adherence. 8 indicates good adherence; 6\~7 indicates moderate adherence; \<6 indicates poor adherence.
Time frame: baseline and study completion (after 8 weeks)
User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ)
Enabling prompt and accurate user experience measurement is the primary goal of the UEQ.UEQ was administered post-experiment to swiftly and accurately measure user experience. Covering 26 items across six domains, UEQ evaluated the impact of the amblyopia rehabilitation training product on both children and their parents. Due to its language complexity, the questionnaire was completed with parental assistance.1 for disagree, 7 for strongly agree
