Combining Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and Augmented Reality-based Dichoptic Therapy for Treating Amblyopic Adults

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding noninvasive brain stimulation to augmented reality-based vision therapy can improve vision in adults aged 18 to 40 years with unilateral anisometropic amblyopia, commonly called "lazy eye." Anisometropic amblyopia develops during childhood when the two eyes have different focusing powers and the brain relies more on one eye than the other. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does active high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) improve best-corrected visual acuity in the amblyopic eye and depth perception more than sham stimulation? * Does the combined treatment improve contrast sensitivity, suppression between the eyes, and measures of retinal and visual brain function? All participants will receive the same augmented reality-based dichoptic therapy. This therapy presents different visual information to each eye and lowers the contrast seen by the stronger eye. This gives the weaker, amblyopic eye a visual advantage and encourages both eyes to work together while participants carry out normal daily activities. During the first 2 weeks, participants will also receive either active HD-tDCS or sham stimulation immediately before the augmented reality therapy. Active HD-tDCS delivers a weak electrical current through small electrodes placed on the scalp. Sham stimulation uses the same equipment and procedures, but the current is applied only briefly at the beginning. Comparing the two groups will help researchers determine whether active brain stimulation provides additional benefits beyond those of augmented reality therapy alone. Participants will: * Complete 40-minute augmented reality therapy sessions four times per week for 10 weeks. * Receive eight 20-minute sessions of active or sham HD-tDCS during the first 2 weeks, immediately before the augmented reality therapy. * Attend assessment visits before treatment, after 2 weeks, and after 10 weeks. These visits will include vision tests, retinal imaging, tests of retinal function, and brain imaging.

3D Movie Viewing vs Occlusion for Treating Amblyopia in Children

Amblyopia is a common childhood visual disorder that affects vision in one eye and can also impair depth perception (stereopsis). Standard treatment typically involves occlusion therapy (patching the stronger eye), which improves visual acuity but often does not fully restore binocular vision. This study aims to evaluate whether watching 3D movies, combined with occlusion therapy, improves visual outcomes more than occlusion therapy alone in children with amblyopia. The immersive nature of 3D content may stimulate binocular vision and enhance treatment effectiveness. In this randomized controlled trial, children aged 4 to 14 years with amblyopia will be assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive standard occlusion therapy, while the other will receive occlusion combined with weekly 3D movie sessions. After an initial phase, all participants will have access to 3D viewing sessions. The study will assess improvements in depth perception, visual acuity, and eye alignment over time. The goal is to determine whether this combined approach provides additional benefits and could be used as a complementary therapy for amblyopia.
