Using virtual reality to spot lazy eye in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study is about finding and preventing lazy eye (amblyopia) early in young children. They will use a virtual reality headset to check vision in a fun, child-friendly way.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Kids must be 3 to 7 years old when they join the study.
- Your child needs to be a patient at the eye clinic of the Strasbourg University Hospital.
- A routine eye check needs to have happened within the last 3 months, either at the hospital or by your own eye doctor with a full report.
- If your child has lazy eye, it must be confirmed by the standard test.
- If your child does not have lazy eye, a recent check must show no eye problems that could lead to it.
- Kids who have already had lazy eye treatment (like eye patches, glasses, or surgery) cannot join.

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 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 virtual reality (VR) therapy for adults with lazy eye (amblyopia) caused by a difference in prescription between the two eyes. It uses special glasses to train your eyes to work together, which may improve vision.
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 special 3D movies on a screen can improve visual skills in children with lazy eye (amblyopia). It is for children who have already tried standard treatments and whose vision has not improved for at least 6 months.
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.
