Fluoxetine and eye patching for lazy eye treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of a medicine (fluoxetine) and eye patching can improve vision in people with lazy eye (amblyopia). It uses special eye scans and brain wave tests to see how well the treatment works for different ages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new treatment called AmblyoFix for children aged 7 to 12 with lazy eye (amblyopia) in one eye. The study aims to see if it helps improve vision better than standard care.
This study tests a patch-free treatment approach for “lazy eye” (amblyopia) in children. It may help some kids improve vision without using traditional eye patches, but it requires a willingness to skip standard patching during the study.
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 looks at vision problems in children with lazy eye (amblyopia) and eye misalignment (strabismus), and whether they improve with treatment. It may help researchers understand what visual changes to expect and which patients respond best.
This study tests whether children with amblyopia (lazy eye) should start patching one eye after glasses first, or start patching at the same time as glasses. The goal is to find the best approach to improve vision.
This trial tests if the medication valproate (a seizure drug) can improve vision in children and teens aged 8-17 who still have a lazy eye (amblyopia) even after wearing glasses or patching. It may help if your child's vision has stopped getting better with standard treatments.
