GAMIFICATION FOR TREATMENT OF VISUAL DISORDERS, THE VILLAIN BECOME A HERO

Abstract

Technology provides many possibilities and because of its simple access, people have accentuated its use. This has brought with it some consequences, especially for vision, due to the excessive use of screens and games. There is a considerable part of the population that uses electronic devices intensively to perform their daily tasks, either to relate to other people, or to work with several types of screens. This use can become exacerbated and cause some harm due to exposure to blue light, such as eye fatigue, sedentariness, changes in the circadian cycle, and the exaggerated use of accommodation, causing stress and eye fatigue. Technology can provide benefits, and can contribute to the treatment of visual disorders, using the virtual environment, or even serving as a tool to document the dysfunctions, aiming at non-invasively improving binocular vision and visual acuity in a more attractive and interesting way than traditional methods. Through bibliographic research and publications indexed in Scielo, PubMed and Google Academic platforms, it is demonstrated the importance of research on the maintenance and rehabilitation of visual health.
