NCT ID NCT05394987

First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looks at whether wearing the right glasses can improve vision in adults with amblyopia (lazy eye). Researchers will test 36 adults aged 18-39 to see if their eyesight gets better with optical correction alone. The goal is to understand how the adult brain can adapt and improve vision, challenging the old belief that lazy eye can only be treated in childhood.
