[Computer treatment of strabismus and amblyopia using random-dot stereograms]

Application interactive CLASS software for stimulating productive binocular cooperation based on random-dot patterns and stereograms was used for treating strabismus and amblyopia in 105 children during a standard course of treatment. The children were divided into 3 groups treated by the CLASS alone (1), Class + two other application programs (2), and CLASS + traditional methods. General positive changes (improvement of visual acuity, decrease of eye deviation, etc.) were similar in these 3 groups. Positive effect of CLASS exercises on binocular visual mechanisms was significant. Due to precise evaluation of binocular interaction provided by CLASS, positive changes in binocular cooperation and stereovision were attained in 93% of children.
