Establishing New Treatment Approaches for Amblyopia: Perceptual Learning and Video Games (NCT05522972)
Improving Normal and Amblyopic Vision With Video Games and Perceptual Learning
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Amblyopia, a developmental abnormality that impairs spatial vision, is a major cause of vision loss, resulting in reduced visual acuity and reduced sensitivity to contrast. This study uses psychophysical measures to study neural plasticity in both adults and children with amblyopia.
