First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether showing cartoon video clips and using character voices during a visual field test can help children aged 5-8 stay focused and give more reliable results. Twenty children with certain eye conditions will be tested twice, once with the cartoon intervention and once with standard care. The goal is to see if the engaging method reduces test errors and improves diagnosis of vision loss.
