This study is testing a new way to treat amblyopia (sometimes called "lazy eye") in children aged 4 to 10 years old. It uses binocular games played on a tablet, where one eye sees reduced contrast and the other sees high contrast. The goal is to see if these games can help improve vision more completely and for a longer time compared to current methods. We expect about 40% of children to achieve normal vision within 8 weeks. If your child has amblyopia due to strabismus (crossed eyes), anisometropia (different prescriptions in each eye), or a combination, and meets certain vision requirements, they may be able to join. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This study is an interventional, randomized controlled trial with three groups, aiming to enroll 120 participants.

What's involved

Participants will play binocular games on a tablet for 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, for 8 weeks. Visual acuity will be measured at the beginning and after 8 weeks.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Visual acuity is measured at 8 weeks. Children with good vision at 8 weeks will have 4 weeks of stereoacuity training, and those with remaining amblyopia will have 4 weeks of dichoptic movie treatment.
