The conceptual E-YES Amblyopia Trainer is a game-based eye health device for children to help correct amblyopia in a manner that is fun, interactive and decidedly more entertaining than alternative methods. The device consists of a binocular-style construction that harnesses the power of augmented reality (AR) experiences to let children partake in vision training and exploration exercises. The unit features a number of difficulty adjustment modules for training the eyes and could help to detect problems early on that could require further treatment.
The conceptual E-YES Amblyopia Trainer is the design work of Hsu Fang-Ping, Lai Chien-Chen and Professor Li Kai-Chu, and responds to the increasing number of children experiencing amblyopia, which is being linked to screen use.
