AmblyoCare on Windows Pc

Vision is our most important sense, which makes visual impairments a heavy burden for affected patients. AmblyoCare offers a variety of individually customizable stimulation methods, which provide a wide range of possibilities for the diagnosis and therapy in the area of early support for infants and toddlers (ESIT), amblyopia treatment and other visual impairments. Although the optimal rehabilitation of residual vision is achieved by frequent therapy in early age, AmblyoCare does not only target infants, but also adults with impaired vision.

The target audiences of AmblyoCare are ophthalmologists, orthoptists, ESIT specialists, pediatrists, neurologists, medical specialists as well as affected people (application only under professional guidance!).

AmblyoCare offers the following stimulation methods:
- Visual attention test
- Moving and static bars (optokinetic nystagmus)
- Rotating disc (eccentric fixation)
- Visual acuity test with optotypes (tumbling E, Landolt C, …)
- Smooth pursuit movements
- Saccades
- Preferential looking (only with suitable display hardware)
