Eye patch study aims to help kids with wandering eyes

NCT ID NCT05462821

Summary

This study tested whether having children wear an eye patch full-time for three months helps control an eye condition where one eye occasionally turns outward. Researchers compared 73 children aged 3 to 9 who either wore the patch or were simply observed with no treatment. The goal was to see if the patching improved how well the children could keep their eyes aligned when looking at distant objects.
