Application of perceptual learning in amblyopia treatment

Abstract

Amblyopia is a common eye disease in children. In recent years, people have been exploring new treatments for amblyopia patients with poor results of the traditional treatment. In the field of visual cognition, some computer programs and video games are widely used to improve the functions of the visual system. Based on the perceptual learning, new methods such as video games, dichotomous stimulation, and stereo vision training are proposed to treat amblyopia. This article combines domestic and foreign research on perceptual learning and other emerging methods. The application of therapies in the treatment of amblyopia was reviewed, the effects of different methods in the treatment of amblyopia were analyzed. Combined with the existing problems, the future development of this field was further discussed.
