Vision training with brain stimulation for eye focusing problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for eye focusing problems: vision exercises combined with gentle electrical brain stimulation versus vision exercises alone. It aims to see if adding brain stimulation improves the ability to focus the eyes better than exercises alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a specific type of crossed eye (small-angle acute acquired esotropia) with a small eye turn (≤ 15 prism diopters), OR you have presbyopia (age-related focusing difficulty).
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- Your best corrected vision (with glasses/contacts) is 20/20 (1.0) or better in both eyes.
- You have no other eye diseases or have had no eye surgeries.
- You have no history of psychiatric or neurological conditions (like epilepsy, stroke), no head injuries, and no metal implants in your body (including pacemakers).
- You are not pregnant.

This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment to improve symptoms of convergence insufficiency, a condition that makes near vision tasks like reading harder. You may be randomly assigned to the study treatment or a comparison condition.
This trial tests whether combining a short vision learning program with non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain can improve vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It may help by training the visual system while stimulating brain pathways to support vision.
This study combines two non-invasive treatments for adult lazy eye (amblyopia): gentle brain stimulation and a special eye exercise using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye, offering a non-surgical option for adults with this condition.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation on the eye can slow or improve vision loss in people with open-angle glaucoma. It uses a device you can use at home after training.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and thinking in older adults with glaucoma. It involves a series of sessions where a mild electrical current is applied to the brain.
