NCT ID NCT07563946

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether watching 3D movies, combined with standard patching therapy, improves depth perception and vision in children aged 4 to 14 with amblyopia (lazy eye). Half the children will receive patching alone, while the other half will also attend weekly 3D movie sessions. The goal is to see if the immersive 3D experience can stimulate binocular vision and enhance treatment outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

3D movie viewing using active shutter glasses

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a fun, engaging way to boost depth perception and vision in children with lazy eye, possibly as a complement to standard patching therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 56 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The 3D movie approach is novel and may not provide additional benefit over standard care.
