Well it’s about time we stop shouting at our children to give rest to those video games while fearing the negative effects of it on their eyes. The latest research and evidence suggest that many video games actually develop and benefit the eye rather than only cause damage to it. Tetris has been confirmed as the game effectively used by practitioners worldwide now in the treatment of Ambylopia.
Ambylopia commonly known as a lazy eye is an early childhood condition which results in an unsatisfactory development of vision in one eye which may later if remain untreated affect both eyes. Basically its actually the condition of the brain hence its more accurate to say that it’s more of the lazy brain than the fault of the eye as it’s the brain which fails to focus on each eye equally, which results in the hazardous misbalance.
Statistics suggests that in UK and USA around 2% to 3% of all children are a victim of Ambylopia. Owing to the rise of children falling a prey to lazy eyes its better for the parents to remain on guard for any symptoms of it that may include blurred vision, double vision, poor depth perception, a squint or simply the failure of the eyes to work in unity.
The Journal Current Biology in its new study suggests that the classic puzzle type game Tetris of the 80’s actually help a great deal in treatment of the Lazy Eye. Since the game requires rapid eye movements and focus on the shape of the falling block, the game is said to make the desired improvement. Experts at Vista Eye support the research and treat children with games like Tetris and other rapid eye movement and quick focus exercises to activate the laze brain network for active function and efficient control.
