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 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.
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 trial tests whether training with an augmented reality headset can improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia) after they have had surgery for a congenital cataract. The training is designed to be fun and engaging for 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.
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.
