Augmented reality training vs patching for lazy eye
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 5 and 55 years old.
- Your weaker eye has vision that is worse than 20/30 but better than 20/200 (measured with your best glasses or contacts).
- You have been wearing your prescribed glasses or contacts for at least 3 months.
- You do not have other eye diseases, history of eye surgery (except strabismus surgery), or brain conditions that affect vision.
- You do not have epilepsy, mental illness, or an implanted electronic device, and can attend all study visits.

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 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 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.
This study tests whether a virtual reality headset can help improve vision in children who have a lazy eye after cataract surgery. The training is designed to be engaging and may help strengthen the weaker eye.
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 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.
