What is Luminopia?

Luminopia is the simple, engaging and effective FDA-approved* amblyopia treatment designed to improve vision in children 4-7 years old.1-3

By prescribing Luminopia, you’re giving patients the opportunity to watch TV for 1 hour a day, 6 days a week instead of wearing an eye patch.1

Our comfortable, lightweight VR headsets display the TV content which keeps patients engaged and distraction-free throughout treatment.1

Luminopia can be prescribed in just a few minutes through PhilRx Pharmacy.

How Luminopia works

Unique, dual-acting binocular mechanism encourages both eyes to work together to improve vision

Reducing contrast

to the stronger eye overcomes suppression of the amblyopic eye4

Dichoptic masking

blocks complementary parts of the image for each eye to encourage the brain to combine the videos into one complete image5

Patients

Phase 3 Trial Study design: The phase 3 randomized trial vs glasses alone included 117 patients ages 4-7 with unilateral amblyopia associated with anisometropia and/or strabismus. The trial evaluated Luminopia 1 hour/day, 6 days/week with full-time corrective refraction vs full-time corrective refraction alone. The primary endpoint was change in BCVA at 12 weeks.1

There were no serious adverse events reported with Luminopia
The most common adverse events reported (treatment vs. control) were headaches (14.3% vs. 1.7%), all graded as mild and transient†


Cases of new or worsening heterotropia were balanced between groups (7.1% vs. 8.5%), and the rate of all ocular adverse events was similar between groups (11% vs 14%)

Children stick with a treatment they enjoy

In the Luminopia clinical trial, the rate of adherence to prescribed treatment was almost double the rate of adherence measured in patching clinical trials.3,6

Indication
Luminopia is indicated for improvement in visual acuity in amblyopia patients age 4-7, associated with anisometropia and/or with mild strabismus. Luminopia is intended to be used as an adjunct to full-time refractive correction, in an at-home environment, and is for Prescription Use Only.
Safety
  • No serious side effects* reported with Luminopia.
  • Most common side effect reported were headaches (14.3% Luminopia vs. 1.7% control), all graded as mild and transient.
  • Cases of new or worsening heterotropia were balanced between groups (7.1% vs. 8.5%).
  • Rate of all ocular adverse events similar between groups.
*Includes events classified with possible, probably, or definite relation to study treatment
Important Information About Luminopia
  • Patients should only use Luminopia while wearing their prescribed refractive correction under the headset.
  • Patients should wear Luminopia while seated or lying down.
  • Additional evaluation may be required for patients with a history of light-induced seizures, serious medical conditions, new or worsening eye-turn, or double vision.
  • Patients should stop using Luminopia and contact their doctor for additional evaluation if they experience worsening vision in either eye, headache, nausea, eye strain that doesn't go away after usage, dizziness, or increased night terrors.
