The usual and uncomfortable treatment for the condition commonly called 'Lazy Eye' (medically amblyopia) is to put a patch on the normal eye to force the other to get regular vision.

A team fro McGill University of Canada have come up with a more entertaining solution.
Playing the video game of TETRIS seems to resolve this condition.

Will it lead to Tetris addiction? Your guess.

    My father's a tetris champ. If I remember correctly, he did like 4k lines in flat 4-5 hours I guess.

    I never enjoyed the game though 😳
