Recruiting studies
- NCT07226141RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Valproate for persistent lazy eye in children and teens
This trial tests if the medication valproate (a seizure drug) can improve vision in children and teens aged 8-17 who still have a lazy eye (amblyopia) even after wearing glasses or patching. It may help if your child's vision has stopped getting better with standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–17 - NCT07547670Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Lazy Eye in Children
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help children with lazy eye (amblyopia) whose vision hasn't improved with traditional patching treatments. The goal is to see if stimulating the brain can boost the weak eye's vision.
MurciaAges 4–14 - NCT05705778Recruiting
Blood biomarker study in children with amblyopia
This trial looks at a blood test (a “biomarker”) in children with amblyopia, a common vision development problem. It may help researchers understand what changes go along with treatment and vision improvement.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 3–12 - NCT03288948Recruiting
Binocular game therapy for lazy eye
This study tests a treatment that uses both eyes together (binocular games) to improve vision in children with “lazy eye” (amblyopia). It may help the weaker eye work better while the child practices at home and during study visits.
Dallas, TexasAges 4–10 - NCT07764198Recruiting
Gabor visual training for adult lazy eye
This study tests a home-based visual training program that uses special patterns to help improve vision in adults with amblyopia, often called lazy eye. It may offer a new way to gain visual improvement.
ShanghaiAges 18–39 - NCT07752433Recruiting
Brain stimulation with augmented reality for lazy eye in adults
This trial tests a new treatment for adults with lazy eye (amblyopia) that combines brain stimulation with a special vision game using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye.
Porto, Porto DistrictAges 18–40 - NCT06498206Recruiting
Augmented reality training vs patching for lazy eye
This study compares using a special augmented reality (AR) headset versus wearing a classic eye patch to treat lazy eye (amblyopia). It is for people ages 5–55 whose weaker eye still has room to improve even after wearing glasses.
ShanghaiAges 5–55 - NCT07472231Recruiting
Game-based therapy for children with lazy eye
This trial tests if a fun, game-based training program can improve vision in children with lazy eye caused by a difference in glasses prescription between the two eyes. It is designed for children ages 4 to 7 who can participate in vision exercises.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4–7 - NCT03655912Recruiting
Video games and eye therapy for lazy eye
This study tests whether binocular (two-eye) visual therapy using video games can improve “lazy eye” vision. It’s aimed at people with certain types of lazy eye and who have not had previous amblyopia treatment.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 4–10 - NCT04310241Recruiting
Test eye alignment and vision changes in lazy eye patients
This study looks at vision problems in children with lazy eye (amblyopia) and eye misalignment (strabismus), and whether they improve with treatment. It may help researchers understand what visual changes to expect and which patients respond best.
Cleveland, OhioAges 6 months–90 years - NCT05394987Recruiting
Testing new glasses and vision function in amblyopia adults
This study looks at how changing your glasses prescription affects vision and visual function in adults with amblyopia (often called “lazy eye”). It may help researchers understand which optical correction best supports clearer, more balanced vision.
Waterloo, OntarioAges 18–39 - NCT05439200Recruiting
Video-based treatment for lazy eye in young children
This trial tests whether a video treatment can improve “lazy eye” (amblyopia) in children ages 3–7. It may help if your child’s vision difference is present despite glasses worn consistently, and you’re able to skip the usual patching during the study.
Dallas, TexasAges 3–7 - NCT05522972Recruiting
Tests video-game and training therapy for amblyopia
This trial studies whether perceptual learning and video-game style training can improve vision in people with amblyopia (lazy eye). You may be included if you have normal vision or amblyopia, and your eye exam does not show other eye problems that could affect results.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges Any age - NCT06049459Recruiting
Virtual Reality Games for Lazy Eye in Kids
This study tests if playing virtual reality games can help improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia). It may be an option for kids who haven't fully improved with glasses or patching.
Columbus, OhioAges 5–17 - NCT06380517RecruitingPhase 3
Headset therapy vs patching for lazy eye in children
This study tests a new way to treat lazy eye (amblyopia) in 4 to 7 year olds using special shows watched through a headset (dichoptic therapy). It compares this to the standard treatment of wearing a patch over the stronger eye. The goal is to see if the headset therapy works as well or better than patching.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4–7 - NCT06429280Recruiting
Lazy Eye Treatment Registry for Luminopia Users
This registry collects information from people with lazy eye who have used Luminopia treatment for at least 12 weeks. It helps researchers learn more about how the treatment works in real life.
San Ramon, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06524882RecruitingPhase 3
Special glasses for lazy eye in children 8 to 12 years old
This trial tests if special movies or games viewed through a headset can improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia). It compares these treatments to wearing glasses alone.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 8–12 - NCT06712849Recruiting
Brain stimulation for adult lazy eye
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) to see if it can improve vision in adults with lazy eye. It is a noninvasive approach that does not involve surgery or drugs.
Downers Grove, IllinoisAges 18–55 - NCT06760910Recruiting
tDCS for older teens and adults with lazy eye
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help improve vision in older children and young adults with amblyopia (lazy eye).
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 10–30 - NCT07281742Recruiting
Amblyopia treatment for children aged 8 to 12
This trial tests a new treatment for children aged 8 to 12 with lazy eye (amblyopia) who have stopped standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can improve vision in the weaker eye.
Dallas, TexasAges 8–12 - NCT07323953Recruiting
AmblyoFix study for children with lazy eye
This trial tests a new treatment called AmblyoFix for children aged 7 to 12 with lazy eye (amblyopia) in one eye. The study aims to see if it helps improve vision better than standard care.
CairoAges 7–12 - NCT07417046Recruiting
Fluoxetine and eye patching for lazy eye treatment
This study tests whether a combination of a medicine (fluoxetine) and eye patching can improve vision in people with lazy eye (amblyopia). It uses special eye scans and brain wave tests to see how well the treatment works for different ages.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 10 years+ - NCT04378790RecruitingPhase 3
Patch one eye by itself or together with glasses
This study tests whether children with amblyopia (lazy eye) should start patching one eye after glasses first, or start patching at the same time as glasses. The goal is to find the best approach to improve vision.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–13 - NCT05440448Recruiting
Patch-free therapy for lazy eye in children
This study tests a patch-free treatment approach for “lazy eye” (amblyopia) in children. It may help some kids improve vision without using traditional eye patches, but it requires a willingness to skip standard patching during the study.
Dallas, TexasAges 3–12

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for amblyopia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 25 recruiting amblyopia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a amblyopia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a amblyopia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
