Eye exercises at home may help control wandering eyes when looking far away
Disease control Recruiting nowThis trial tests a 12-week home-based eye training program for children and young adults aged 6 to 25 with intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye periodically turns outward. The training uses a computer or tablet game with 3D glasses to strengthen near vision control, …
