Using video games and binocular therapy to treat lazy eye in children

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 aims to evaluate the effectiveness of binocular visual therapy combined with electronic devices for treating amblyopia in children. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one receiving traditional eye patching with near-vision activities, another with eye patching and an electronic tablet, and a third using red-green glasses with an electronic tablet. Each group will undergo treatment for two hours daily over four months, followed by a two-month suspension period to assess any relapses in amblyopia. The study will compare the visual acuity and depth perception improvements across the groups.
