Strabismus is one of the most prevalent eye diseases in children. Crossed eyes, often known as squinting, is a misalignment of the eyes that causes them to point in separate directions. As a result of the brain’s response to eye misalignment, those youngsters may develop amblyopia. Amblyopia, often known as lazy eye, is a disorder characterized by impaired vision in one eye. In both cases, early detection is critical to preventing visual loss. Furthermore, treatment is most successful in children, when the early indicators of amblyopia and strabismus may be identified. In this research, we will investigate at the possibilities of using extended reality-based apps to treat children’s strabismus and amblyopia. A review of the literature on XR for those disorders is performed, and the limits and gaps in current approaches are identified. A feasibility study is done to determine if commercially marketed sensors are suitable for usage in schools and preschool settings.

Abstract
Strabismus is one of the most prevalent eye diseases in children. Crossed eyes, often known as squinting, is a misalignment of the eyes that causes them to point in separate directions. As a result of the brain’s response to eye misalignment, those youngsters may develop amblyopia. Amblyopia, often known as lazy eye, is a disorder characterized by impaired vision in one eye. In both cases, early detection is critical to preventing visual loss. Furthermore, treatment is most successful in children, when the early indicators of amblyopia and strabismus may be identified. In this research, we will investigate at the possibilities of using extended reality-based apps to treat children’s strabismus and amblyopia. A review of the literature on XR for those disorders is performed, and the limits and gaps in current approaches are identified. A feasibility study is done to determine if commercially marketed sensors are suitable for usage in schools and preschool settings. Finally, two feasibility studies are provided to demonstrate potential adaptive therapy frameworks for strabismus and infantile amblyopia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
