AR eye training vs. eye patch for lazy eye
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for lazy eye (amblyopia) in older children and adults: a new augmented reality (AR) therapy versus the traditional eye patch. The goal is to see if the AR training is more effective at improving vision in this age group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 12 and 55 years old.
- You must have one weaker (lazy) eye and one stronger eye, with a difference in vision of at least two lines on the eye chart.
- If you wear glasses, your prescription must be within -6.00 D, and you must have been wearing them for at least 3 months with stable vision for the last 2 months.
- Your eyes must be properly aligned (no significant inward/outward turn) unless you've had surgery to correct it, and even then the deviation must be small.
- You must not have other serious eye diseases, heart problems, high blood pressure, epilepsy, or an implanted electronic device like a pacemaker.
- You must be willing to commit to the full study and attend all follow-up visits.

This study compares using a special augmented reality (AR) headset versus wearing a classic eye patch to treat lazy eye (amblyopia). It is for people ages 5–55 whose weaker eye still has room to improve even after wearing glasses.
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.
This study tests a home-based visual training program that uses special patterns to help improve vision in adults with amblyopia, often called lazy eye. It may offer a new way to gain visual improvement.
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 study compares two treatments for amblyopia (lazy eye) in children: wearing an eye patch and a special vision training called foveation therapy. It aims to see which treatment better improves vision in children with strabismic amblyopia, which is a type of lazy eye caused by misaligned eyes.
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.
