First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study aims to see if enhanced binocular treatments can improve vision more fully and stably in children with amblyopia (lazy eye). About 120 children aged 4 to 10 with lazy eye from strabismus, nearsightedness, or both will use special eye exercises instead of patching. The main goal is to measure how much their weak eye's vision improves over 12 weeks.
