Virtual Reality Games for Lazy Eye in Kids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 5 to 17 years old.
- Moderate to severe lazy eye (amblyopia) in one eye, with vision between 20/40 and 20/400 in that eye.
- The better eye has normal or near-normal vision.
- Have worn glasses (if needed) for at least 16 weeks with stable vision.
- No lazy eye treatment (like patching or eye drops) in the past 2 weeks.
- No severe health conditions like seizures from flashing lights or motion sickness from VR.

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 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.
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.
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.
This trial tests a new 3D vision therapy (like watching a 3D movie without special glasses) to treat lazy eye (amblyopia) in children aged 7 to 12. It may improve vision in the weaker eye by using a 3D display that trains both eyes to work together.
This study compares a new augmented reality (AR) training method—using special glasses that show interactive games—with traditional eye patching to treat amblyopia (lazy eye) in people aged 12–55. The goal is to see which method helps improve vision in the weaker eye more effectively.
