Strabismus screening by Eye Tracker and games

Abstract

More than 5% of Thai people have strabismus. Strabismus is known as cross-eyed or wall-eyed because the visual field angle of two eyes is not parallel. The amblyopia disease is the cause of strabismus in kids. Strabismus can be completely cured if the strabismus screening can be made in early stage. Currently, strabismus screening includes methods such as Hirschberg test, cover test and Krimsky test, and etc. The strabismus screening in kids is difficult and takes a lot time in special room. This research intend to develop a computer system to assist strabismus screening using the combination of computer games and eye tracking devices so that the screening results will be more accurate and exact. This screening technique requires shorter time and it is easy to use, so it is better in terms of efficiency and reducing time for strabismus screening.
