Special glasses for lazy eye in children 8 to 12 years old
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 8 to 12 years old.
- One eye has vision that is not as good as the other by at least 3 lines on an eye chart.
- The weaker eye sees between 20/40 and 20/200 (with glasses if needed).
- The stronger eye sees 20/25 or better (with glasses if needed).
- The vision difference is due to strabismus (eye misalignment), different glasses prescriptions between eyes, or both.
- Your child is willing to wear a headset for treatment and can commit to 19 weeks of either glasses alone, or special movies/games viewed through the headset.

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 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.
This trial tests a new treatment for children aged 8 to 12 with lazy eye (amblyopia) who have stopped standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can improve vision in the weaker eye.
This trial tests whether a video treatment can improve “lazy eye” (amblyopia) in children ages 3–7. It may help if your child’s vision difference is present despite glasses worn consistently, and you’re able to skip the usual patching during the study.
This trial tests if watching 3D movies on a screen can improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia) who have already tried other treatments. It's designed for children aged 4 to 12 who still have a significant vision difference between their eyes.
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.
