Study Summary

This trial is testing whether using dichoptic movies for four weeks can improve alignment in children with intermittent exotropia, a type of crossed eye. If successful, this could let children manage the condition without surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with intermittent exotropia, a condition where one eye occasionally drifts outward. They must have a certain level of misalignment in their eyes and haven't had previous binocular treatments or surgery. Kids with amblyopia, other eye/systemic conditions, or developmental delays cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if watching dichoptic 3D movies for four weeks can help control eye alignment in kids with intermittent exotropia either as an alternative to surgery or to maintain alignment after surgical correction.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial doesn't mention specific side effects, watching dichoptic 3D movies may cause eyestrain, headaches, dizziness, or nausea in some children.
