Lazy Eye

Lazy Eye

   Lazy eye, or amblyopia, is a condition that occurs when the brain is disrupted from receiving a clear image from one of the eyes due to a problem in that eye, such as strabismus or severe visual impairment. 

    In this case, the brain relies solely on the clear image from the healthy eye, leading to further damage in the affected eye, which is then termed as lazy eye or amblyopia.

    Vision in this eye weakens to the extent that improving vision becomes difficult, regardless of our interventions to treat the underlying problem in this eye.

    Doctors have not found a solution to this problem in most countries, where they typically prescribe an eye patch for the healthy eye in an attempt to stimulate the lazy eye, which often fails due to the child's difficulty in responding to the patch.

      However, in Dr. Osama Abdel Hakim's clinics, we have been able to use computers and modern technology to overcome lazy eye and awaken it from its dormancy using specialized glasses that function like virtual reality glasses.

    These glasses contain a set of video games specifically designed to treat lazy eye, and through the computer, we control the direction and focus of the image on the lazy eye, helping to stimulate it and increase its visual acuity.

     Let's watch the next video where Dr. Osama Abdel Hakim discusses lazy eye and the device used in treatment.

 With the use of these glasses and this device, we have been able to improve vision by more than two lines on the eye chart for over 200 children suffering from lazy eye, and there has also been significant improvement in their depth perception.

      Let's watch the next video, which demonstrates the use of a lazy eye treatment device in Dr. Osama Abdel Hakim's clinics.

      Inshallah (God willing), we expect this treatment to become more widespread in the near future, allowing individuals with lazy eye to use this treatment technology at home as well.
