Summary
This study tests whether using red/green glasses with video games can improve vision in people with amblyopia (lazy eye). Sixty participants will use either these glasses, an eye patch with a tablet, or standard patching for 2 hours daily over 4 months. The goal is to see if binocular stimulation works better than patching alone and reduces relapse after treatment stops.
