Understanding Visual Disorders
Before we delve into the specifics of Amblyoplay, it's important to understand the visual disorders it addresses:
Convergence Insufficiency: This condition occurs when the eyes struggle to work together when focusing on nearby objects. Symptoms may include eyestrain, headaches, and difficulty reading or performing close-up tasks.
Squint (Strabismus): A squint is a misalignment of the eyes, where one eye turns inward, outward, upward, or downward while the other focuses normally. This can lead to double vision, poor depth perception, and, in some cases, amblyopia.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Often called "lazy eye," amblyopia is reduced vision in one eye due to abnormal visual development in childhood. The brain favours the stronger eye, which can lead to permanent vision loss in the weaker eye if left untreated.
These conditions can significantly impact a person's quality of life, affecting everything from academic performance to daily activities and self-esteem. Traditional treatments have included eye patches, corrective lenses, and in-office vision therapy exercises. While effective, these methods can be time-consuming and sometimes difficult for patients to maintain consistency.
What is Amblyoplay?
AmblyoPlay is vision therapy software that individuals use to perform vision therapy on a tablet or computer by playing therapeutic games. It is primarily targeted at kids, as it is created as an engaging game that motivates them to complete daily sessions.
Who is it for?
It is an ideal homework program for addressing vision problems such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), convergence insufficiency, double vision, and other binocular vision problems.
When you visit our clinic, we will perform a comprehensive eye examination and assess whether you are a suitable candidate for AmblyoPlay Vision Therapy.
