Brain zaps for lazy eye: new hope for kids who failed patching?
NCT ID NCT07547670
First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests if a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve vision in children aged 4 to 14 with lazy eye (amblyopia) that hasn't responded to standard patching therapy. One hundred children will receive either real or fake (placebo) tDCS sessions, and researchers will measure changes in eyesight, depth perception, and brain activity. The goal is to see if tDCS offers a faster, child-friendly alternative to patching.
