Question 1

What is Piggy Peekaboo?

Accepted Answer

It is a free, browser-based game designed to support vision therapy for children with Amblyopia (lazy eye). It gamifies the 'patching' time.

Question 2

What age is this suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Suitable for toddlers (3+) to adults. For young children, we recommend parental guidance to ensure they are scanning actively.

Question 3

Do I need special glasses?

Accepted Answer

No, you only need an eyepatch to cover the "good eye". The game works on any standard tablet, laptop, or desktop screen.

Question 4

How long should my child play?

Accepted Answer

Please follow your ophthalmologist's prescription. Typically, active therapy is recommended for 20-60 minutes daily.

Question 5

Does it work for adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Startling new research in neuroplasticity shows adults can improve visual acuity and contrast sensitivity with consistent training.

Question 6

Is this a replacement for patching?

Accepted Answer

No. This tool makes patching more effective by converting passive time into active therapy, but you must still wear the patch!

Question 7

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We rely on non-intrusive ads to pay for server costs so that this therapy tool can remain accessible to everyone.

Question 8

Is this medical advice?

No. This is a supportive recreational tool. Always follow the specific medical advice and patching schedule prescribed by your doctor.
