A facebook page has been created to promote Lazy Eye Treatment with Tetris game…
We would like to ask you to like and share our facebook page to reach even more people and provide them an effective solution for their vision disorder
Thank you in advance to everyone

The Windows 8 version of the Lazy Eye Tetris game was published and now you can download it from here
I have created a small web page what you can use for practice, with a two color glass (3D glass) you can try to use your eyes together.
This is just an extremely small web page (and not finished yet completely) but you can find it useful maybe
give it a try if you think
(but if you have vision problems you can find this very hard or extremely hard to read much more harder than the Tetris game):
You can find this here: Lazy Eye Reader
It is works similar to the following vision therapy tools:
The popular video game Tetris has been found to be effective at treating adult amblyopia, also known as ‘lazy eye’, according to new research conducted by scientists at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC).
As one of the most common causes of visual impairment, amblyopia affects nearly 3 percent of the population. It occurs as a result of improper brain processing, causing the weaker eye to be suppressed by the stronger eye. A person with lazy eye will not be able to focus properly with one of their eyes – the eye with impaired vision (amblyopia) will not receive clear images.
Treatment options for this condition include patching the stronger eye to make the weaker one work more. However, this form of treatment has only been successful in children.
Playing the puzzle game requires information to be sent to both eyes, making them work cooperatively.
By making both eyes cooperate, the amblyopic brain is able to relearn as a result of an increase in the level of plasticity in the brain.
The senior author of the study, Dr. Robert Hess, Director of Research Department of Ophthalmology at the RI-MUHC and at McGill University, said:
“The key to improving vision for adults, who currently have no other treatment options, was to set up conditions that would enable the two eyes to cooperate for the first time in a given task.”
Dr. Hess explained that the brain has quite a high level of plasticity, which means that it is possible to treat vision loss which occurred during early visual development. In fact, previous research has found that such plasticity can be released temporarily with just 15 minutes of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). The 15 minutes of rTMS therapy improved contrast sensitivity in patients’ amblyopic eyes for a period of at least 30 minutes.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, assessed the effectiveness of treating amblyopic adults with the game Tetris.
Dr. Hess, who also serves as director of McGill Vision Research, added:
“Using head-mounted video goggles we were able to display the game dichoptically, where one eye was allowed to see only the falling objects, and the other eye was allowed to see only the ground plane objects. Forcing the eyes to work together, we believed, would improve vision in the lazy eye.”
They evaluated the efficacy of this novel form of treatment in a total of 18 adults who suffered from amblyopia. Half of the patients played the game with their stronger eye patched, while the other half played the game dichoptically – each eye was able to see a separate part of the game.
The patients who played the game with both eyes experienced significant improvement in their vision of the weaker eye after only two weeks. The monocular patching group also saw moderate improvements, however, this improvement increased substantially when they started dichoptic training.
A previous study conducted at an eye clinic in India, similarly revealed that treatment of amblyopia can be achieved if patients stick to a regimen that includes playing video games along with standard amblyopia treatment.
