I am 23 and have a lazy eye. I still have hope to be able to take some of it back in case I lose my valid eye. Looks like I need to build a backlog of easy to play games and find an eyepatch!
Not surprising, Quake Live pros have reflexes that would put a fighter pilot's to shame. The muscles around their eyeballs must look like a bull on steroids.
I say we combine the best of both worlds. Give fighter pilots Quake Live accounts, and give Quake Live pros amphetamines. It'll either create a breed of human with reflexes so fast that they come to rule the planet using fighter jets controlled by Quake Live, or trickle down as the ultimate lazy eye fighting method.

This is not a good way to help people with Lazy eyes
it's just exactly the same as putting a patch over a child's eye and telling them to do what they do for a day.
There is a project currently going on in the UK which is trying to help people with Lazy Eyes by making both eyes work together via video games.
Jon Purdy of Bradford University is using video games and 3D technology, so that a child who plays a game see's half the game with one eye (say the background and levels on a 2D platformer) and in the other eye they see the information, (like the character and Health etc)

I have a lazy eye. When I was only about 3 years old I started wearing glasses... and at the age of 7 or 8 they put a patch on one lense of my glasses to strengthen my weak eye. That same year I fell off my bike and got two stitches in my chin. My evil brother used to run around going "yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" because of my eyepatch and whisker stitches.
Arrrgh... you've brought back some memories of an awful point in my life... a time that was deeply buried, for good reason!
Still... better to play video games with an eye patch than to have to wear one all the time! (and hopefully those kids are careful riding their bikes!)

that's kind of old news. I remember seeing an article a few years ago about how Racing games can improve on the lazy eye
If wearing an eyepatch for an entire month as a 6 year old didn't do the trick, I don't think playing games will help much either. Shame, I'd quite like to be able to see with both eyes.
I don't know how much video games have to do with it.I've got a bit of a lazy eye and anything that requires focus affects it, reading probably most of all. Sometimes after playing for too long my left eye will be horribly bloodshot with a normal looking right eye.
@recharge330
The left eye was burning the handling all the stress while that right eye was just being a lazy turd probably.
Odd that such a thing is even possible though, didn't think that would be possible to do...might have to invest in an eye patch when I play games from now on. And Dale is jealous he sucks at shooters.
