Visual training for kids after lens surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether special visual and perceptual training exercises can help improve eyesight in children who have had surgery for a naturally dislocated lens (congenital ectopia lentis). It is for kids aged 4–12 whose vision is still below normal after their second eye surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 12 years old.
- They have been diagnosed with congenital ectopia lentis (a naturally dislocated lens).
- They had surgery to remove the lens and place a new artificial one in both eyes, with the second eye done within the past month (give or take a week).
- Their best corrected vision (with glasses or contacts) is worse than normal for their age but no worse than 20/200 in at least one eye.
- They have no other eye surgeries, serious eye conditions, or neurological problems like epilepsy triggered by lights.
- You and your child must agree to take part and sign a consent form.

This follow-up study looks at how vision changes over time in children and adults with congenital lens dislocation, and what complications may occur. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and prevent problems after diagnosis.
This study tests two types of vision training for children with low vision, either in person or through telehealth. It aims to help improve how children use their remaining vision.
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 computer-based vision training program to see if it can improve how children with mild nearsightedness (myopia) see fine details. It might help slow the progression of nearsightedness or improve visual sharpness.
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 study tests a new lens for children who have had both cataracts removed and artificial lenses implanted. It may help improve vision after their surgery.
