Amblyopia is one of the most common visual disturbances, affecting nearly one in three children. Its best known and most common form is strabismus, when an eye crosses. A less technical expression is sometimes used to refer to this pathology: that of the lazy eye. Indeed, amblyopia is characterized by a strong eye and a weak eye, the images of the latter not being interpreted or little interpreted at the level of the visual cortex, leading to a decrease in vision and a deficit in three-dimensional vision.
Currently, the main treatment for amblyopia is to put an eye patch on the dominant side, so that only the lazy eye is working. Not very restrictive on a carnival day, but inconvenient the rest of the year. Problem: This therapy only works in children and requires constant parental supervision, so that adults too have no way to improve their visual impairment at the moment and may eventually not be able to recover their condition. lost vision.
"VR (Vitual Reality) video game to fight amblyopia" is a VR simulation game that aims to search for objects in a map over a period of time. As the player finds their items, the VR game randomly adds more objective and increases the player's level. Its objects to find, this is where there will be the relationship with the amblyopia treatment phase, because the Game will only send for one of the two screens of the VR box at random the image of the objects to be searched for. . This causes the brain to force both eyes to work at the same time so that one of these two eyes sees the image that will be displayed on one of the two VR screens.
This method will permanently wake up the lazy eye, and with more work, the difference in the visual acuity measurement of the two eyes will be equal.
