Until very recently the only existing treatment for amblyopia was the use of the patches and the appropriate optical correction, if needed.
*
OphthoCare Israeli company recently presented a novel treatment that does not require the use of patches, it has developed the first liquid crystal glasses, which work with an electronic shutter.
*
This goggle has been approved by the U.S. FDA for treatment of amblyopia in children, and is expected to revolutionize the treatment of this anomaly, which affects 5% of children, whose treatment is recommended to between 3 and 6 years.
* consists of a liquid crystal glasses that darken by patch, the electronic shutter is incorporated into the optical correction and is controlled by a preprogrammed microchip which is activated on the eye to small intervals. These sessions "close-open" exercise the lazy eye and force its use.
* Through the liquid crystal technology, generate an electronic curtain closing the shutter over the good eye and, therefore, requires the use of the weak eye. The closing takes place automatically and can last approximately 10 to 15 seconds, then opened for 10 or 15 seconds. The exercises of "open-close" will continue while the patient uses glasses, lazy eye strengthening and improving visual acuity and binocular vision exercising.
*
Although it has great advantages, the children reported that they felt very comfortable using the glasses, thus becoming a preferred alternative in terms of patches.
* Being a technology implementation, the major drawback for now is cost.
*
Basic information and guidance. For personalized information consult your ophthalmologist.
