<p>A recent study from Canadian University, McGill, have discovered that Tetris may be useful to those who suffer from “Lazy Eye”, improving the users condition over time.</p>
<p>Typical treatment has been, which has been standard for many years, is to place a patch over the stronger eye for a long period of time, thus encouraging the weaker eye to work harder and therefore train the weaker eye.</p>
<p>During an experiment at McGill University however, sufferers wore special goggles that made each eye focus on a different part of a single game of Tetris. This ensured both were active and after participants played the game for one hour a day for a two week period, it was found that improvements had in fact been made in their weaker eye.</p>
<p>Commenting on the results DR Robert Hess stated:<br />
<i>“When we get the two eyes working together, we find the vision improves. It’s much better than patching, much more enjoyable, it’s faster and it seems to work better”.</i></p>
