Hi All,

My 4 year old niece has "lazy eye" problem. We started on applying
patch on her eye and also some eye excercise. Any bosy is aware of any
kind of GAMES( and source to get these kind of games) which helps in
treating these problem.

Any useful suggestion will be appreciated.

I can be as bossy as anyone. LOL

Drawing, writing, dot to dots, colouring in, picking up buttons,
throwing and catching balls, kicking balls, marbles, catching marbles
with a cup (roll marbles towards her), bike riding, running around
outside, pretty much whatever a 4yo wants to do.

What we want with patching is to get the eye to guide us through space,
make mistakes and rewire itself to give better vision and performance.

EyeQ is a speedreading system which runs on a PC, and has child and adult levels. About half the exercises are tracking and work on eye muscles and attention. The rest of the exercises are more specific to reading.

I've had a try of it for half a dozen sessions and believe tracking is much crisper. Reading speed also up from about 350 to 700 wpm.

The images/"games" aren't boring to look at so a 4 yo would probably stay with it. You can "mini-exercise" with selected exercises rather than sessions.

Cost about $250, so maybe try before you buy. The website: http://www.infmind.com/ has a "demo now" sessions which is representative of a typical basic session.

Is it useful for Lazy Eye? I'm not qualified to say. I can't imagine it would be harmful, and expect it would help a lot - but expert opinions would over me. I'd value their comments.

No, stick with kid things. They are cheap and they do the job. If you
start to see improvement, then keep it up. If there is no improvement
after 2-3 months then you have gone as far as it will go.
