Description

1 TARIFF GAME-BASED APPROACH IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH AMBLIOPIA REHABILITATION PRACTICE Technological Field: This invention improves visual acuity, stereopsis (binocular depth perception), oculomotor control, hand- with the aim of improving visual and motor skills such as eye coordination and selective attention Play-based rehabilitation for pediatric patients diagnosed with amblyopia, available in 10 cases. It is related to the application. The system uses individualized task definitions and adaptive algorithms. using an interactive tool that aims to improve children's visual-motor performance. It offers a platform that allows children to develop their visual and motor skills in a fun way. The aim is also to ensure an effective rehabilitation process. State of the Art: Today, amblyopia treatment generally involves optical correction, light therapy, and refractive errors. as a limited technical field consisting of devices or equipment focused on troubleshooting This is what we are facing. Current applications basically reduce visual acuity to 20. Although it aims to improve visual-motor integration, hand-eye coordination, and It is insufficient in developing critical skills such as oculomotor control. Furthermore, Most of these applications are interactive and designed to increase user motivation. It does not offer any entertaining features, which can negatively impact the treatment process, especially for child patients. This leads to significant challenges in commitment. Dependence on fixed equipment and 25 Access to treatment is generally limited to clinical settings, and portability and continuity are important considerations. This also presents serious limitations in terms of treatment processes. This shows that it needs to be made effective, motivating, and accessible. Patent application number US2015219929A1 describes "Treatment of Amblyopia". 30 The invention aims to treat a patient with amblyopia using eyeglasses with a shutter mechanism. It aims to... Shutter glasses, first and second shutters and respectively. 2 the first and second variables corresponding to the patient's lazy eye and preferred eye It has variable focal lenses. At least one of the first or second variable focal lenses. The power is adjusted. The opacity of the first shutter is controlled according to the first diagram. The second The shutter opacity is controlled according to the second diagram. The first and second diagrams... The glasses with shutter function are worn by the patient for a period of time during treatment. 5 Using variable focus lenses in conjunction with shutters provides greater flexibility and correction of refractive error in one or both eyes and / or as part of treatment Improved procedures including the use of sub-optimal refractive powers provides. The invention described above provides optical correction and refractive error correction for the treatment of amblyopia. While it offers flexibility for correction, it has some significant drawbacks. First, This method relies on the use of shutter-equipped glasses, which are a physical piece of equipment, This limits the treatment to only the time the device is worn and provides the user with a continuous experience. It requires commitment. This is especially true for children, during long-term use. 15 This can lead to problems such as discomfort, difficulty adapting, and lack of motivation. Additionally, Since the treatment process is limited only to optical and refractive corrections, visual-motor development of skills (e.g., hand-eye coordination and oculomotor control) It does not provide sufficient support in this regard. This hinders patients' ability to perform daily living activities and overall well-being. This can lead to limited improvement in visual functions. 20 Utility model application number CN205649578U is for "Lazy Eye Treatment Equipment". The invention is described as a medical device specifically designed to treat amblyopia, particularly in children. It describes an electronic, therapeutic device. Lazy eye therapeutic equipment, lens cone, liquid. Still 25 inches diagonally, including the crystal touchscreen frame and the incrementally connected base. The dot shape is used to represent the output of a liquid crystal touchscreen, liquid crystal touchscreen fixed mounting, liquid crystal touchscreen frame It is within the area it surrounds, still with the post-image lamp and red light on the lens cone. Including the installation of the lamp, it is attached to the base and the post-display lamp and red light. It is used to operate the post-image redness pulse circuit of the lamp, image 30 The after-lamp and red light lamp respectively in the post-image redness pulse circuit. The electrical connection passes through the selector switch, the selector switch connection triggers. 3 It is equipped with a liquid crystal touchscreen frame or base that has a button. Useful. The model's inability to exit with a cross-point after post-training and the previous technique It overcomes the fusion defect in training, post-image crossover. It provides lazy eye therapeutic equipment that can perform combination therapy. The invention described above involves liquid crystal touch screens and light-based therapy. Although it includes various approaches, the treatment process also involves interactive and motivational elements. It has a deficiency. This device generally offers a passive user experience; Gamification or interactive methods that encourage the patient's active participation in the treatment process It does not include these features. This situation can reduce interest in treatment, especially in children, and can lead to long-term consequences. 10 This can lead to issues with long-term commitment. Additionally, the physical dimensions of the device and its fixed mounting... requirements, by limiting the portability and accessibility of treatment, make out-of-clinic. This can make it difficult to use in certain environments. These factors affect both the flexibility and functionality of the device. This reveals the limitations in terms of the sustainability of the treatment process. Description of the invention: This invention enables patients diagnosed with amblyopia to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.
