Austin, TX - Austin Vision Therapy Center’s latest blog examines a recently completed a study that showed that adults with amblyopia (lazy eye) benefited from playing Tetris. The study was held at McGill University in Montreal and used a version of the game specifically designed to be used in vision therapy.
The Austin vision center explains that the game was designed so that the falling blocks were only seen by one eye while the stationary blocks were seen by the other. This was done so the adults playing the game had to use both eyes in order to succeed at the game. Eighteen adults were involved in the study and they were each tasked with playing the game for an hour a day for two weeks. It then discusses the ways in which patients increased their visual acuity.
The post at http://austinvisiontherapycenter.com is meant to give patients an idea of the new ways vision therapy is being used, including fun ways which appeal to younger patients. This knowledge could help readers have a better understanding of why they are asked to perform certain tasks as part of their therapy.
