We are researching the impact of childhood eye conditions such as lazy eye (amblyopia) on everyday life. This study is important because children and adults with childhood eye conditions may have different eye movements, read slowly, or have motor issues. We want to better understand the causes of these issues, which may lead to the development of early interventions and treatments. This study's primary investigator is Dr. Krista Kelly.
Eligibility: Children and adults 3 to <40 years of age diagnosed with a childhood eye condition (amblyopia, strabismus, anisometropia, cataract). We are also recruiting control participants with no vision conditions other than wearing glasses.
Time commitment: One in-person visit at the School of Optometry & Vision Science, approximately 60 minutes with an optional second visit later. Participants will receive a $50 Walmart gift card per visit at each visit in appreciation of their time, plus reimbursement for parking.
