Main effect of group, F(1,25) = 33.72, p < 0.0001, \({\eta }_{G}^{2}\) = 0.44; Main effect of eye, F(1,25) = 31.81, p < 0.0001, \({\eta }_{G}^{2}\) = 0.35; eye by group interaction, F(1,25) = 24.22, p < 0.0001, \({\eta }_{G}^{2}\) = 0.29. Simple main effects: difference in the amblyopic eye, F(1,25) = 47.85, p < 0.0001, \({\eta }_{G}^{2}\) = 0.66, no difference in the fellow eye, F(1,25) = 2.05, p = 0.16, \({\eta }_{G}^{2}\) = 0.08
