In cooperation with ophthalmologists with experience in successful amblyopia treatment, the first iPad App designed to assist in keeping vision acuity and assisting in amblyopia correction [Captain Lazy eye] has been created!
That overall out of 100 people there are 1 to 4 people who are amblyopia.
That in regions with poorer medical care that the rate is even higher!
We’ve invited a former Ophthalmology department director of both Changhua Christian Hospital and Chungshan Medical University in Taiwan, Dr. Sharon Chuang, for her career-spanning experience in successfully treating amblyopia children in order to design a software specially for assisting vision correction for these children.
Between the ages 3 to 8, it is the perfect time for treatment of amblyopia. After this golden period, nerves in the eye begin to mature, and correction thereafter becomes increasingly difficult. That’s why if there’s a history of severe nearsightedness or astigmatism, it’s best to bring your children to a physician to check his/her eyesight as soon as possible.
Correction of amblyopia usually involves tedious and repetitive coordinative exercise, such as navigating a maze on paper, drawing lines on paper, etc. The blandness of such exercises is the primary reason that children become resentful or even express refusal to cooperate in the treatment!
The App turns amblyopia correctional exercises into fun and interesting games, assisting them with fascinating themes like pirates and princesses, enticing the children to perform the necessary occlusion for the training and ultimately making real correctional progress.
Recovery of vision from amblyopia does not happen overnight, nor is there a shortcut. This is precisely why active participation of those who need it is vital.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
iOS9 bug fix.
This is really good for patching exercises, my 4 yr old is happy to play this app, which says a lot when she has her patch on! however I won't be buying the full version until the pirate's snotty nose is removed, it's pointless, somewhat offensive and my 4 yr old daughter doesn't like it either. I would rate this higher without this!
