Efficacy of Visual and Perceptual Training on Visual Function for Operative Congenital Ectopia Lentis Children
China82 participantsStarted 2026-06-01
Plain-language summary
This is a multi-centre, open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled trial with the following objectives: Firstly, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of web-based visual and perceptual training therapy on visual function in children with postoperative congenital ectopia lentis. Secondly, the investigators target to investigate the in stereoacuity, quality of life scores, and treatment compliance following visual and perceptual training intervention. Thirdly, to explore the safety profile of visual and perceptual training therapy software in this specific patient population. Lastly, this study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for visual rehabilitation training strategies in children with postoperative congenital ectopia lentis in the Chinese population.

Inclusion criteria
. Aged 4-12 years, with no gender restriction;
. Diagnosed with congenital ectopia lentis;
. Underwent bilateral lensectomy combined with IOL scleral fixation, and within 1 month ± 1 week after the second-eye surgery;
. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of unilateral or bilateral eyes is no worse than 20/200 but below the normal level for the corresponding age: for 4-year-old children, BCVA ≤ 20/40; for children aged 5 years and above, BCVA ≤ 20/30;
. Written informed consent signed by the patient and their parents or legal guardians.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this trial is testing visual and perceptual training on children who have already had surgery for ectopia lentis, would my child be eligible to participate, and how soon after their operation would they need to start?
2The main thing this study is measuring is whether best corrected visual acuity actually improves compared to where it starts — can you explain what a meaningful improvement in that measurement would look like for my child specifically, and how it compares to what standard post-operative care alone might achieve?
3What exactly does the visual and perceptual training involve in terms of time commitment, frequency, and whether sessions are done at home or in a clinic, and is that realistic for our family's schedule?
4Since this trial doesn't have a phase number and is listed as 'NA,' does that mean it's more of a therapeutic or rehabilitation study rather than a drug study, and what does that tell us about what is and isn't yet known about the risks and benefits of this kind of training for children with this condition?
5Are there standard rehabilitation or vision therapy options already available for children after ectopia lentis surgery that we should consider first, and how does participating in this study compare to pursuing those established approaches instead?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
