Improving binocular vision and eye coordination
ARBi - Assessment and Rehabilitation of Binocular Sensorimotor Disorders
['FUNDING_R01'] · NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY · NIH-11003721
This study is looking for ways to improve how well people see in 3D and move their eyes together, especially for those with conditions like lazy eye or crossed eyes, by using fun games and movies that help train their vision and eye movements.

What this research studies
This research investigates how to enhance binocular vision by addressing both sensory and motor functions that contribute to our ability to perceive depth and coordinate eye movements. It aims to develop new assessment methods and therapies that promote binocular perception and eye movement coordination, especially for conditions like amblyopia and strabismus. The approach includes using digitally modified images in interactive games and movies to stimulate sensory and motor plasticity, potentially benefiting individuals with binocular vision disorders.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include adults and young adults experiencing binocular vision disorders such as amblyopia, diplopia, or strabismus.
Not a fit: Patients with stable binocular vision or those who do not have any sensory or motor impairments related to binocular vision may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective treatments for binocular vision disorders, improving patients' visual perception and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown promise in using digital interventions to enhance sensory plasticity, indicating that this approach may be effective.
