Revolutionizing Vision Assessment with Digital Eye-Tracking Technology
The traditional methods of vision assessment have been in place for ages, as have the acuity charts, whose examples are widely used in every corner of the globe in hospitals and clinics. These tests may be useful, but they are manual, subjective, and require a lot of time; hence, their results rely highly on the expertise or smoothness of the examiner. This poses a challenge, especially for pediatric evaluations, since toddlers may find it difficult to comply with the instructions or express themselves clearly enough. Additionally, if this procedure is entangled with an inaccuracy, nobody will like it because there will be no good relationship left after that, and nobody will even have a chance of avoiding the mention of an eye injury during any further appointment. Traditional eye exams, when done perfectly, can be accurate, but they take so much time and require great efforts from the optometrist at stake.

Understanding and Managing Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)
Extended periods of viewing screens as a normal practice in daily existence do not astonish us any more in the era of information technology. Be it work or leisure, we are becoming increasingly dependent on digital gadgets for our daily chores. Although technology has made life easier and more convenient with its many innovations, such progress has caused other issues, like those related to eye health. A common disorder resulting from such addiction is therefore known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), or simply digital eye strain.

Understanding Amblyopia and Its Treatment Options. AI-Generated.
Amblyopia, which is referred to as ‘lazy eye’, is the leading cause of vision loss in children, causing a reduction in visual acuity and poor depth perception (STREETS et al., 2023). The condition occurs as a result of receiving two different images from the brain from the eyes, usually because of strabismus or anisometropia (MILLER et al., 2023). When the brain cannot process these different images, it will suppress the input of vision from the weaker eye, leading to amblyopia. About three percent (3%) of people globally suffer from amblyopia (Harvard University). Unfortunately, late diagnoses or the wrong treatment can lead to partial vision loss. If untreated during early childhood, it usually continues into adulthood, and this affects life in various ways, like coordination ability, reading skills, and even road safety.
