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 trial tests a virtual reality (VR) therapy for adults with lazy eye (amblyopia) caused by a difference in prescription between the two eyes. It uses special glasses to train your eyes to work together, which may improve vision.
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 study is about finding and preventing lazy eye (amblyopia) early in young children. They will use a virtual reality headset to check vision in a fun, child-friendly way.
