A Randomized Controlled Trial of Autostereoscopic 3D Vision Therapy for Amblyopia

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an autostereoscopic 3D amblyopia training system works to improve vision in children and adolescents with amblyopia. It will also learn about the safety and tolerability of the 3D training system. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does autostereoscopic 3D vision training improve best corrected visual acuity in the amblyopic eye compared to conventional patching therapy? * What side effects or discomfort do participants experience during 3D training versus patching? Researchers will compare the autostereoscopic 3D training system to conventional daily eye patching to see which treatment works better for improving vision in amblyopia. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the 3D training group or the patching group * Complete daily home treatment for 6 months - either 20 minutes of 3D vision training or 2 hours of continuous eye patching * Visit the clinic at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months for eye exams and vision tests * Have their treatment progress monitored remotely through training data logs or patching diaries

Gac Fruit Oil Supplementation for Visual Health and Sleep Quality

This study evaluated the effects of gac fruit oil supplementation on visual health, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and brain imaging parameters in adults with sleep disturbance. Participants aged 40 to 65 years were recruited and received gac fruit oil capsules for 30 days. The supplementation protocol consisted of two capsules in the morning and two capsules in the evening each day. Assessments were performed before and after the intervention, including macular pigment measurement, ocular surface disease evaluation, tear film analysis, contrast sensitivity testing, accommodative microfluctuation analysis, optical coherence tomography, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, a depression scale, the Mini-Mental State Examination, and brain magnetic resonance imaging. The study aimed to explore whether 30 days of gac fruit oil supplementation was associated with changes in visual function, sleep quality, mood-related measures, cognitive function, and brain imaging findings.
