Accommodating Myopia Therapy Training using VR Head Mounted Device

Novel virtual reality (VR) system to provide personalized accommodating training for myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus therapy of adolescents and younger children

This project proposes to develop a novel virtual reality (VR) system combined with hardware and software in order to provide personalized accommodating training for myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus therapy of adolescents and younger children. The system includes vision detection and a game-based vision training programme that allows users to complete the entire vision therapy in an all-in-one VR device.

Training Gameplay

The goal of the project was to create a revolutionary virtual reality (VR) system with hardware and software that would allow adolescents and younger children to get tailored accommodating training for myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus therapy. With the adjustable microlens module, different levels of vision problems can be addressed. The system contains a serious of vision training program, allowing users to complete their vision rehabilitation in one VR device. The cooperation of hardware and software modules will be adjusted to create fogging effects, which helps the users to relax, relieves tension and spasms of the ciliary muscles of the eyes. In order to make the entire treatment process of vision correction training interesting, VR adapting myopia treatment games are also built in the VR vision correction headset. The proposed technique, on the other hand, offers an alternative to the existing system for myopia correction in adolescents and children. The VR adapting training reduces the chance of side effects from medicines or laser refractive surgery, such as retinal striae, dry eyes, and starburst vision, which are common in alternative myopia treatments.
