This Tiny Device Is a ‘Game Changer’ for People Facing Blindness.
An estimated 170 million people worldwide suffer from age related macular degeneration (AMD), a serious eye condition marked by loss of central vision. Suffers struggle with daily life and cannot read or drive. Scientists are working on a device that acts as an ‘artificial retina’ that can be implanted into the eye to restore functional vision.

Binocular treatment of amblyopia using videogames (BRAVO)
Treatment of older children and young adults with amblyopia (lazy eye) can be challenging as traditional treatment with an eye patch is often unacceptable. Recently the use of video or iPad games have shown promise as an alternative treatment. The BRAVO study is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled multicentre trial to assess the effectiveness of a novel videogame-based binocular treatment for amblyopia in older children and adults. Our Orthoptist, Sandra Staffieri has been involved in the trial. Results will soon be published.
