Video game therapy could replace eye patches for lazy eye
NCT ID NCT07323953
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new digital therapy called AmblyoFix for treating lazy eye (amblyopia) in children aged 7 to 12. The therapy uses special software and red-blue glasses to play visual games that stimulate the weaker eye. Researchers will compare results to a group of children who previously received standard eye patching, to see if AmblyoFix is as effective and easier for kids to use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AmblyoFix binocular digital therapy (software and red-blue glasses)
What this could lead to
If successful, AmblyoFix could offer a more engaging and easier-to-stick-with alternative to eye patching for treating lazy eye in children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 33 participants, and it compares against past patients rather than a simultaneous control group. The therapy may not work as well as patching for all children.
