Background

Amblyopia, also known as “Lazy Eye” is a condition that affects 3% of the population. The primary aim of this trial is to assess whether 6 weeks of treatment with a prototype device can result in significant reduction in “Lazy Eye”.

Participants will wear the head-mounted prototype device for a total of no less than 30 minutes per day, morning and evening for 6 weeks.

The study requires participants between 8 and 50 years of age who have “Lazy Eye” with a history of previous (not current) treatment for the condition. Participants are required to attend at least 5 study visits, may see an improvement in their health, and will be helping advance medical research.
