Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates innovative treatment methods for amblyopia, a condition that impairs spatial vision. It focuses on understanding neural plasticity in both adults and children by utilizing psychophysical measures. Participants will engage in visual discrimination tasks or play video games specifically designed for amblyopic vision. The study aims to monitor various visual functions throughout the treatment process to assess the effectiveness of these interventions.
