A recent survey at McGill University in Montreal has shown that playing the game “Tetris” can actually have positive benefits for Amblyopia. Amblyopia, a condition commonly referred to as Lazy Eye, is when one eye does not develop properly and does not work in conjunction with the other eye. It is estimated that 1 in 50 children are diagnosed with Amblyopia. The video game Tetris has been found to force both eyes to work together creating improvement in this condition.
