Vision Development Center Is Your Preferred Provider of Lazy Eye Treatments in Jasper and Evansville

Virtual reality is becoming an increasingly popular application that people use for entertainment as well as to improve their health. In fact, today you can get lazy eye treatments in Jasper and Evansville with virtual reality. Many patients prefer virtual reality because it is an effective treatment for amblyopia, strabismus and vergence disorders.

Anyone who has witnessed a player using a virtual reality headset (or even the display of their smartphone) knows that VR creates a synthetic world with computers and software to create an immersive experience that can be quite lifelike. Our developmental optometrist in Jasper and Evansville seized on the opportunity to use virtual reality because it’s an effective approach to training the brain and eyes to work together better.

How Do Lazy Eye Treatments with Virtual Reality Work?

At Vision Development Center, we take pride in using cutting edge technology and keeping up on industry best practices when it comes to providing non-surgical vision correction in Jasper and Evansville. Lazy eye treatments with virtual reality are easier to understand when you become familiar with the basics of VR as well as the vision disorder itself.

Your optometrist in Evansville & Jasper IN will consult with you first to make sure that 
VR is a suitable option for correcting your lazy eye condition. Some people can become dizzy while inside a VR environment, for example. This is not a major concern, however, and most patients respond quite well to this technological innovation to improve their vision.

You wear goggles or a headset that has small video screens that you look into to see a virtual world. Sensors in the headset keep track of your every movement, so that when your head changes position in the real world, the virtual display reacts accordingly like you are moving your head in the artificial environment.

Previously, a developmental optometrist in Jasper and Evansville would be forced to rely on the old eye patch method for dealing with lazy eye. But we take advantage of a new technology from Vivid Vision. 

Vivid Vision works with virtual reality headsets from leading manufacturers, including Google Daydream, Samsung GearVR, HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift.

As your optometrist in Evansville & Jasper IN will be glad to tell you, once you are in the virtual reality world at our clinic, you can start training muscles in your eyes that have grown weak from lack of use. The virtual world offers you a stress-free environment to focus on developing your eye muscles, while having fun to boot!
