We are looking for 5-8 year old children with Amblyopia AND 5-8 year old children with normal vision to participate in our research.
Amblyopia (also known as ‘lazy eye’) is the most common cause of vision loss in children. It is commonly treated using Occlusion Therapy (also known as ‘patching’). We are investigating how Occlusion Therapy changes signals in the brain to understand how the treatment works. We hope that these findings will lead to better treatment for Amblyopia in the future.
Taking part involves coming to Headington, Oxford for two MRI scans and some eye tests. For more information, please email the KOALA (Kids with Occlusion therapy for AmbLyopiA) study team: [email protected], and see our
