Scientists develop video game to treat lazy eye (BBC) {amblyopia}

5 April 2012 Last updated at 06:35 ET Help Eye specialists at Glasgow Caledonian University have developed a video game to treat a common sight problem in children.

Children who suffer from a lazy eye can play a Tetris-style game instead of wearing an eye patch.

Ten-year-old Calum Stillie found his sight was much better after playing the game for just a week.
