<p>A patient with amblyopia is treated using a pair of shutter glasses (100). The shutter glasses (100) have first (104b) and second (106b) shutters and respective first (104c) and second (106c) variable focus lenses corresponding respectively to a lazy eye and a preferred eye of the patient. A power of at least one of the first (104c) or second (106c) variable focus lenses is adjusted. An opacity of the first shutter (104b) is controlled according to a first scheme. An opacity of the second shutter (106c) is controlled according to a second scheme. The first and second schemes are adhered to while the shutter glasses (100) are worn by the patient during a treatment period. The use of variable focus lenses together with shutters provides for a greater flexibility and improved procedures including correction of the refractive error in one or both eyes and/or using sub-optimal refractive powers as part of the treatment.</p> |
