Effect of an Eyesight Recovering Stereoscopic Movie System on Visual Acuity of middle-aged and Myopic Young People

By relaxing the contracted focus-adjustment muscles around the eyeball, such as the ciliary and extraocular muscles, improvement of the pseudo-myopia is expected. This understanding has led to the development of an eyesight recovering apparatus called Dr.REX, which uses stereoscopic video. In this study, we verify effects of the apparatus on eyesight of myopic young persons (16M & 16F) and 12 middle-aged persons. In the Measurement 1, the young were examined in the medium-range (>10 days) effect. Moreover, the middle-aged were investigated on several trials of the eyesight recovering apparatus in the Measurement 2. As a result, the visual acuity was statistically improved by continuous DR.REX treatment. We considered that the effect of the visual acuity recovery device is temporary, but the findings suggested that the continuous use of DR.REX will promote a ciliary muscle-stretching effect, leading to the improvement of visual acuity.
