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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–12 - NCT04378790RecruitingPhase 3
Patch one eye by itself or together with glasses

Boston, MassachusettsAges 3–13 - 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 - 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.

What taking part in a amblyopia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
