E·YES Amblyopia Trainer
E-YES is a game-based aid to correct children's amblyopia through xploration and training.
At least 12 million children suffer from amblyopia worldwide. Amblyopia is a problem caused by poorly developed visual areas of the brain, and the prime time for amblyopia treatment is before the age of eight.
E-YES is a game-based aid to correct children's amblyopia through xploration and training. Various modular combinations encourage amblyopic children to perform visual zoom, dedicated eye muscle exercise and color discrimination. The lenses on both sides of the telescope work with AR transparencies for children to imagine and explore. The lens in the eye and the ciliary muscle are exercised when the eye switches between near and far objects. E-YES is also a vision detector. Parents can use the vision test panel and guide children to rotate the module. Regular testing tracks changes in children's vision and detects problems for early treatment.
