Neuro Vision for Lazy Eye Adults

Hi all

Has anyone here any experience of using this treatment for adults with lazy eye? I've only recently been reading about it and it looks very good. It has been approved in the US by FDA for lazy eye correction - something which I've been told by numerous optician was impossible. Is it too good to be true? Looks like basically a computer program that "trains" the bad eye back to a state that it can be corrected with standard lens. It would be a miracle for me as I can only see the second line of the eye chart with my lazy eye and no lens improves it.
They do this treatment in the wellington centre in dublin too.

I've also been looking for something along these lines, but am sceptical. Just ask yourself ,"If this ACTUALLY works, why isn't it in widespread use?". It isn't, hence my scepticism, but am open to other peoples thoughts?

I'd be fairly sceptical too. But the Wellington clinic is pretty reputable

God damnit, I just posted a thread on this a minute ago. Searching for "Neurovision" showed only 1 post (not this one).

I'm going to call the Wellington Clinic and get a price / more info about it.

I'll post up the details when I'm done!

Cool, let us know what they say

Called them yesterday morning, the consultant wasn't in. Anne something - she'll call me first thing on Monday morning. If not, I'll call her

Hey there Lord,

Did you hear anything back from the Wellington Clinic?

any updates on this?

-Al-

Just spoke with the Wellington Clinic about this. The first consultation is €80 and then any follow ups are €65. The treatment is done from home with computer software. Im having some information sent out to me. Like the rest of you guys I havent heard much about this but I'm willing to try anything, and the price is double figures as apposed to the four figures I was expecting (at least I hope it isnt that much).

I'll let you know If I go ahead with it and the outcome.

Are the Wellington Clinic still doing this treatment?
I contacted them a few months ago and they said they would get back to me but never did.

Thanks

This might be a bit off topic, but i'm wondering if anyone has ever thought about LASIK surgery for their amblyopia. It seems as ifnothing else works.
A study has been done in the link below:

Interesting - anywhere I've queried has immediately put optical / laser out of the equation.

Happened to see this thread on the front page. There's treatments being developed for lazy eye using the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset at the moment. It's come up on the Oculus Rift VR reddit a few times. ie. a software program in development with specific visuals and excercises that will run on the consumer version of the Rift VR headset when it launches to the public next year. Heard $400 mentioned for the program. A Rift will cost about 300 but you'll be buying one of those anyway because VR is going to be amazing for so much else anyway.
