Adult lazy eye may be trainable: brain plasticity under the microscope

This study tests whether a home-based computer program, called Gabor-based perceptual learning, can improve vision in adults with amblyopia (lazy eye). Participants aged 18-39 will be randomly assigned to either start training immediately or after a 12-week delay, with all receiving the same 12-week training. The training involves repeated visual tasks on a calibrated screen, designed to exercise eye-brain coordination. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can boost visual acuity and other visual functions in adulthood.
