Laser surgery offers new hope for kids with stubborn lazy eye
NCT ID NCT03610997
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether laser eye surgery (PRK) could improve vision in children aged 2 to 17 with lazy eye (amblyopia) caused by large differences in prescription between eyes or very high nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. These children had not improved after at least 6 months of standard treatments like glasses or patching. The surgery aimed to correct the underlying refractive error to help the eyes work better together.
