Lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is caused by a misalignment in the eyes, where one eye is capable of focusing better compared to the other. It affects around 3% to 4% of the children population, and to hear from 10-year-old Calum Stillie who gave this treatment a go, his words have been encouraging. “I realised that I wasn’t falling over as much. I could also read things much easier on the board at school and wasn’t making so many mistakes in sums.” No idea on whether there are any side effects in the long run associated with such treatment, but it looks like video games have scored yet another point in the hearts and minds of parents everywhere.
