Vivid Vision uses VR to provide a visually impaired treatment system such as amblyopia

From employee training to adjunctive treatment of patients, the role of virtual reality in the medical field is constantly expanding. Vivid Vision is a company that helps visual impairment such as amblyopia or strabismus through virtual reality technology. Today they officially launched Vivid Vision Home, a visual therapy system. Vivid Vision Home combines VR games with customized treatment tests for each patient, with the goal of replacing some traditional therapies such as eye patches or eye drops. The company initially launched a clinical version for optometrists and schools in October 2015, and then released a beta version at the end of last year. Today, Vivid Vision finally brought a complete version for the market, supporting Oculus Rift, htc vive, Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream. Manish Gupta, co-founder and chief technology officer of Vivid Vision, said in a statement: "We have been working hard to ensure that everyone can use Vivid Vision with ease. I think it is a good time to launch Vivid Vision Home now, and the system will only follow suit. It will be better with time." Since Vivid Vision Home is mainly used by ophthalmologists, anyone seeking to use the system can go to the Vivid Vision website (click to go) to find the supplier who provides the service. Currently, there are more than 100 clinics registered in North America and Europe.
