Playing video (compiling/gmi) According to British media reports, a 6-year-old boy in the country is nearly blind due to amblyopia, but under the rare "game therapy" treatment of the attending doctor, the sick child's eyesight is nearly restored to normal.  The patient, Ben Michaels, 6 years old, was diagnosed with an eye with severe amblyopia and could be permanently blinded if he did not receive treatment--and the doctor's prescription was: "Mario DS" every day. Every day Michaels wears a special one-eyed eye patch and plays the DS for about 2 hours, and now his eyesight has been remarkably improved, even to the extent of his other normal eyes.  His mother said the first week after the treatment had seen an obvious effect, and that her child could now read the text without any obstacles.  Doctor Nischal, of the Allman Street Children's Hospital in the UK, said the rare treatment is because playing games helps patients repeat their movements, helping to strengthen the eye muscles and allowing the amblyopia eye to learn to focus automatically. "A video game is what the child needs right now," Nischal said. "This is the best treatment we can give." "Of course, proper time monitoring is also necessary to prevent the negative effects of prolonged use of the eye and to prevent children from indulging in the game."
