Non-invasive brain stimulation for lazy eye
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment using light and brain stimulation to improve vision in adults with amblyopia (lazy eye). It may help if standard treatments haven't worked.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 40 years old.
- You have amblyopia (lazy eye) caused by strabismus (misaligned eyes) or anisometropia (different prescriptions in each eye).
- Your vision in the weaker eye is between 20/40 and 20/400, and your stronger eye sees at least 20/25.
- You have been wearing glasses or contacts that fully correct your vision for at least 12 weeks, and your vision hasn't improved during that time.
- You have not had eye surgery, are not using atropine eye drops, and have no history of seizures or certain neurological conditions.

This study combines two non-invasive treatments for adult lazy eye (amblyopia): gentle brain stimulation and a special eye exercise using augmented reality. The goal is to improve vision in the weaker eye, offering a non-surgical option for adults with this condition.
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) to see if it can improve vision in adults with lazy eye. It is a noninvasive approach that does not involve surgery or drugs.
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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help children with lazy eye (amblyopia) whose vision hasn't improved with traditional patching treatments. The goal is to see if stimulating the brain can boost the weak eye's vision.
This trial tests a new treatment called AmblyoFix for children aged 7 to 12 with lazy eye (amblyopia) in one eye. The study aims to see if it helps improve vision better than standard care.
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.
