Eye patch and vision training for children with amblyopia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for amblyopia (lazy eye) in children: wearing an eye patch and a special vision training called foveation therapy. It aims to see which treatment better improves vision in children with strabismic amblyopia, which is a type of lazy eye caused by misaligned eyes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 16 years old.
- Your child has a lazy eye with vision of 20/40 or worse in that eye, and a significant difference in vision between the two eyes.
- The lazy eye is caused by eye misalignment (strabismus), or by a combination of misalignment and different prescriptions in each eye.
- Your child was born after 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your child has no other eye problems like damage to the macula (the center of the retina).

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.
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.
This study compares two treatments for lazy eye (amblyopia) in older children and adults: a new augmented reality (AR) therapy versus the traditional eye patch. The goal is to see if the AR training is more effective at improving vision in this age group.
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.
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.
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.
