AR Training vs. Eye Patching for Lazy Eye in Teens and Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares a new augmented reality (AR) training method—using special glasses that show interactive games—with traditional eye patching to treat amblyopia (lazy eye) in people aged 12–55. The goal is to see which method helps improve vision in the weaker eye more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 55 years old (if under 18, a parent/guardian must consent)
- You have lazy eye (amblyopia) in one eye only, with the stronger eye having good vision and a clear difference between the two eyes
- You've been wearing the correct glasses or contacts for at least 3 months with stable vision
- Your eyes are properly aligned (or were aligned after surgery), with minimal deviation
- You are willing and able to attend regular eye exams and complete the full study protocol
- You have no other eye diseases, neurological conditions, or implanted devices like pacemakers

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 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 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 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.
