Virtual reality training for lazy eye after childhood cataract surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a virtual reality headset can help improve vision in children who have a lazy eye after cataract surgery. The training is designed to be engaging and may help strengthen the weaker eye.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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.
This study is about finding and preventing lazy eye (amblyopia) early in young children. They will use a virtual reality headset to check vision in a fun, child-friendly way.
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.
