Study Summary

This trial aims to better understand how vision works in children with amblyopia, and how to improve their sight.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children aged 4-16 with 'lazy eye' due to refractive issues like anisometropia, strabismus, or both. They must have a certain level of reduced vision in the affected eye and not have been born prematurely or have neurological conditions that could affect their eyes.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how well different treatments work for lazy eye in kids. Some will use an eye patch while others will try visual exercises like After-image and MIT trainer to improve their vision and how they fixate on objects.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Wearing an eye patch might cause discomfort or skin irritation around the patched area. Visual exercises may lead to eyestrain, headaches, or temporary dizziness but typically don't cause serious side effects.
