3D movies versus eye patching for lazy eye in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether watching 3D movies can help treat amblyopia (lazy eye) as well as or better than traditional eye patching. Lazy eye happens when one eye doesn't develop normally, and this trial explores whether 3D viewing might make treatment more engaging and effective for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 14 years old
- Your child has been diagnosed with unilateral amblyopia (lazy eye in one eye only), caused by refractive differences, eye misalignment, or a combination
- The vision difference between your child's two eyes is significant (at least 2 lines on an eye chart)
- Your child has never had amblyopia treatment before (including patching or other therapies)
- Your child has no other eye conditions like cataracts, eye movement disorders, or retinal diseases
- Your child has no neurological or cognitive conditions that would prevent following study instructions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new treatment for adults with lazy eye (amblyopia) that combines brain stimulation with a special vision game using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye.
This trial tests if watching 3D movies on a screen can improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia) who have already tried other treatments. It's designed for children aged 4 to 12 who still have a significant vision difference between their eyes.
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 a new 3D vision therapy (like watching a 3D movie without special glasses) to treat lazy eye (amblyopia) in children aged 7 to 12. It may improve vision in the weaker eye by using a 3D display that trains both eyes to work together.
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 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.
