Could 3D video games replace eye patches for lazy eye?

NCT ID NCT07709832

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This trial compares a new autostereoscopic 3D vision training system to standard eye patching for children aged 7 to 12 with amblyopia (lazy eye). Participants use the 3D system for 20 minutes daily or wear an eye patch for 2 hours daily over 6 months. The study measures improvements in vision and any side effects to see if the 3D approach is a better treatment option.
