Beyond Boring Vision Therapy: How AI Empowers Students to Create Engaging Treatment Tools
Beyond Boring Vision Therapy: How AI Empowers Students to Create Engaging Treatment Tools
Addressing the Challenge of Patient Compliance
Vision therapy treats critical binocular vision disorders affecting substantial patient populations. As Professor Leung explains, “Some of the very common eye problems include strabismus or squint, which means one eye is not aligned properly, turning in, turning out, up or down. Lazy eye is also the most common vision impairment in children.”
Traditional therapeutic tools, whilst clinically effective, face significant compliance challenges due to their tedious nature. Professor Leung identifies this critical gap, “I always tell my students that even though the training is very effective, if our compliance is bad, then the training is not very useful.”
The programme evolved through two transformative phases. During the initial phase spanning 2021 to 2023, students focused on hardware-based innovation through collaborative partnership with the PolyU Industrial Centre, producing 16 functional prototypes incorporating cutting-edge technologies including 3D printing for customised therapeutic devices. A student team achieved the remarkable feat of winning a design competition as “the only team without any engineering background” competing against biomedical engineering and computer science participants.
