Study Summary

This trial studies if patch-free occlusion therapy improves vision in young kids with amblyopia better than using a patch. It also looks at how well kids stick to the treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for boys and girls aged 3-10 with lazy eye, who have been wearing glasses for at least 8 weeks without vision improvement. They should not be using standard patching treatment during the study and must have a certain level of visual acuity difference between eyes. Children with developmental delays, born more than 8 weeks premature, or having other eye/systemic diseases or high myopia are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares patch-free occlusion therapy to the traditional adhesive patch method in treating lazy eye in children. It aims to see if the new method leads to better vision outcomes and if it's easier for kids to stick with the treatment plan.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not detailed here, typical concerns may include discomfort from either treatment approach or potential psychological effects due to changes in appearance or frustration with treatment adherence.
