Eye patch study: can covering one eye fix Kids' wandering gaze?
NCT ID NCT05462821
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looked at whether wearing an eye patch full-time for 3 months helps children aged 3 to 9 with intermittent exotropia (a condition where one eye sometimes drifts outward). 73 children were randomly assigned to either wear the patch or just be observed. The goal was to see if patching improves how well they control their eye alignment at a distance. The study is complete, but results are not yet published.
