Plain-language summary

A prospective interventional study is expected to be conducted, to test a possible new treatment for amblyopia (lazy eye syndrome). Bilateral transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a type of noninvasive brain stimulation, which may help in visual function recovery of adult patients with amblyopia. This pilot study will test the feasibility of said therapy, along with the short term effects of bilateral tDCS in visual function.
