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 trial tests if special spectacle lenses (Highly Aspherical Lenslet) can control nearsightedness better than a binocular vision therapy in children with myopia and eye alignment problems (strabismus or phoria). It compares two non-invasive approaches and may help slow down worsening vision.
This study tests whether a special vision training exercise can improve how children with low myopia (mild nearsightedness) see blurry patterns. It may help strengthen their visual skills without medicines or lenses.
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 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 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.
