Abstract(s)
Amblyopia, commonly known as ”lazy eye,” is an eye condition that affects millions of
children worldwide. It is characterized by reduced vision in one eye due to insufficient
visual stimulation during the early years of life. Early and effective treatment is crucial to
prevent long-term complications.
In this challenging context, an innovative and exciting solution has emerged: a game for
the treatment of amblyopia, developed using Unity technology and aimed at young children. This game represents not only a novel approach to amblyopia treatment but also
incorporates a playful element that captures children’s attention while promoting healthy
visual development.
The journey that brought us here is the result of dedicated collaboration between ophthalmology experts, game developers, and healthcare institutions in Portugal, such as the Dr.
Gama Pinto Ophthalmology Institute.
We firmly believe that the combination of medical expertise, technology, and the magic
of games can create a groundbreaking approach to treating amblyopia. By engaging children in an immersive and playful environment and utilizing 3D glasses to optimize visual
stimulation, we hope to open new horizons in the field of ocular therapy for children.
This summary is an invitation to embark on this exciting journey. In this work, you
will discover the details of the game, the results of clinical trials with real patients, and
prospects for continuous improvement. Above all, we are thrilled by the hope that this
initiative can have a significant impact on the lives of children with amblyopia and ultimately provide them with a brighter visual future.
We extend our gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this dissertation a reality
and hope this is just the beginning of a new era in amblyopia treatment.
