Starts soon after birth, the baby can fix his eyes on and follow the light source and a face, and can see a large colorful toy.
· At the age of 1 month: Fixation of eyes is central, steady and maintained. A child can fixate and follows a slow target . Baby prefers looking at the mothers or care takers face.
· Development of Binocular Vision starts at this age .
· At the age of 3 months: Binocular Vision and Eye Coordination develops, eyes follow a moving light or face or respond to a smile.
· At the age of 2 years : He is able to match pictures.
· At the age of 3 Years: He can Match letters [ Sheridan-Gardiner ]
· At the age of 5 years and above: He can read up to 6/6 [ 20/20 ] for distant and N1 for near vision .Visual Acuity is developed and is measured commonly on Snellen’s chart or recently
Log Mar vision testing chart is preferred in advanced eye care centres.
Hubel and Wiesel coined the term ‘Critical Period’
· Critical Period’of visual development. : It is the period when the developing visual system is sensitive to abnormal insults due to stimulus deprivation lesions . This critical period begins just after birth, has Peak time till 2 to 3 years after birth.

· Critical Period’of visual development. : It is the period when the developing visual system is sensitive to abnormal insults due to stimulus deprivation lesions . This critical period begins just after birth, has Peak time till 2 to 3 years after birth.
· Sensitive Period: extends up to 7 - 12 years with good chances of Visual Acuity improvement, if proper efforts are taken.
Plasticity of visual system: As per recent studies the visual plasticity helps to improve vision till the presence of anabolism and determination even up to adolescent and in adult age.
As per visual acuity levels
· Mild Grade [6/12 or 20:40 or less]
· Moderate Grade [6/24 or 20:80] or less
· Severe Grade [ 6/36 or 20 :120] or less, depending upon the vision acuity levels. The grades of Acuity of vision highly important for the selection of treatment strategy, prognostic point of view and parents point of view.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 19 million children, less than 15 years of age, as visually impaired.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 19 million children, less than 15 years of age, as visually impaired. Out of these,12 million are impaired due to uncorrected refractive errors and amblyopia. Almost 1.4 million children of world’s population live with low vision or with compromised vision. Their vision related quality of life suffers for rest of their life. Approximately 1.9 TO 3 % in the United States , 3 % Australia, 3 to 4 % India and over 8% in under privileged population of developing world.

Essential tips for concerned parents
Step I: Correction of the underlying visual pathway obstructing cause , ( ? if present at birth or during the developmental period of vision,) should be done at the earliest age, Requires surgery as an emergency procedure.

Step III : See that the child uses the glasses or contact lenses constantly, The doctor’s advice should be strictly followed till the vision improves up to normal standards.
Step IV : Keep an eye on regression of vision.
Step V : Continue the amblyopia treatment , novel vision

Game 1-Hand- Eye co-ordination
Game 2- for improving binocular functions.
Game 3- Interesting, innovative and engaging game using color contrast.
lazyeyesmaster seems to be highly useful and benchmark for home based vision therapy in Amblyopia.
Amblyopia, frequently is a difficult to treat condition.
Active vision therapy constitutes an important component of amblyopia therapy.
Playstore Lazy Master is an effective, easy to use Android based video device under active vision therapy domain.
The device improves not only vision in amblyopic eyes but also binocular functions and hand eye coordination.
I strongly recommend this device for active vision therapy in amblyopic eyes.
