3D movies vs eye patching for lazy eye in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares watching 3D movies to traditional eye patching as a treatment for lazy eye (amblyopia) in children. It aims to see if 3D movie viewing can improve vision similarly to patching, potentially making treatment more enjoyable for kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 14 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of lazy eye (amblyopia) affecting one eye, caused by a difference in prescription (anisometropic), eye misalignment (strabismic), or a combination (mixed).
- There must be a significant difference in vision between the two eyes — at least 2 lines on a standard eye chart (0.2 logMAR).
- Your child must not have had any previous treatment for lazy eye.
- Your child must not have had eye surgery in the last 6 months.
- Your child must not have other eye conditions that affect vision (like cataract, nystagmus, ptosis, etc.), or any neurological or cognitive impairment that would prevent following instructions.
- Your child must not have had extensive prior experience with 3D movies, virtual reality, or 3D video games.
- You and your child must be willing to participate, and you must provide written consent.

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 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 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 study tests a new type of vision therapy using 3D images (no glasses needed) to help improve vision in children with lazy eye (amblyopia). It might be an engaging and effective alternative to traditional patching or eye drops.
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 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.
