Study summary

The goal of this clinical tral is to investigate that if VR/AR visual training can improve the visual function in children with intermittent exotropia.

The main question it aims to answer is :

Does the VR/AR visual training can enhance stereoscopic vision function in children with intermittent exotropia.

Researchers will compare intervention group to control group to see if VR/AR visual training could enhance stereoscopic vision function in children with intermittent exotropia.

Participants will:

The intervention group will receive 20 minutes of VR/AR visual training once a day for a period of one year.

Follow up check ups at the hospital every 3 months. Keep a diary of the values of stereoscopic vision function and Newcastle Control Score.

Inclusion criteria

Aged 6 to 14 years. Intermittent exotropia meeting all of the following criteria: Exodeviation at least 10Δ at distance measured by the prism and alternate cover test, near deviation does not exceed distance deviation by more than 10Δby prism and alternate cover test, mean distance Newcastle Control Score (NCS)≥2 points (mean of 3 assessments during the examination).

Refractive error between -5.00 D \< spherical equivalents (SEs) ≤ -1.00 D, astigmatism ≤1.50D, anisometropia ≤1.5D, best visual acuity in each eye of 1.0.

Not receiving any other form of strabismus or myopia treatment within 3 months. Willing to follow the research plan and participate in the entire research process.

Participants and guardians agree to be randomly assigned and sign an form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Vertical strabismus; Diagnosed with other eye diseases or visual abnormalities such as strabismus, amblyopia, etc; Existence of cognitive or learning disabilities that may affect the effectiveness of training; patients with neurological disorders; Unable to cooperate with eye examination and follow-up work.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    VR/AR visual training group

    Wear glasses for correction combined with VR/AR visual training in the first 6 months, and terminate the training for follow-up observation in the last 6 months. Regular follow-up every 3 months, with a total follow-up time of 1 year.

    Device: VR/AR visual training group

  • No intervention
    control group

    No intervention, simply wearing glasses for correction, followed up every 3 months for a total of 12 months.

Interventions

  • DeviceVR/AR visual training group

    Wear glasses for correction combined with VR/AR visual training in the first 6 months, and terminate the training for follow-up observation in the last 6 months. Regular follow-up every 3 months, with a total follow-up time of 1 year.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. changes in stereoscopic vision function after 6 month

    Compare whether the intervention group has better stereoscopic vision function than the control group after 6 months

    Time frame: 6 months after baseline

  2. changes in stereoscopic vision function after 12 month

    Stop the intervention group training after 6 months and observe for another 6 months to see if there will be a decrease in stereoscopic vision function.

    Time frame: 12 month after baseline

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2024; primary completion for Nov 2025, 14 months later.

Of 29 interventional studies with no phase under Exotropia, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 14 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 19, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
