First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether taking fluoxetine (a common antidepressant) along with standard eye patching can improve vision in people over age 10 with lazy eye (amblyopia). Researchers will use special eye scans and brain wave tests to measure changes. The goal is to see if this combination can help when traditional patching alone is no longer effective.
