A fun quiz-style game to help you practice correctly answering the ``direction of the cut in the circle'' of the Landolt ring (C) used in the visual acuity test before the ``at-home vision test'' at the 3-year-old health checkup. is. ``By playing the Baby Eyesight game before your vision test, you can improve your understanding and increase the accuracy with which you can correctly answer ``the direction of the end of the circle''.

〇What is amblyopia?
A child's vision begins to develop from birth. When a child is born, they can only see vaguely, but by seeing things every day, their eyesight gradually develops and they begin to be able to "see".
However, if a child suffers from severe farsightedness or strabismus (inability to focus) during the period when their eyesight is developing (from birth to around 6 years of age), their vision will remain poor and their development will stop. This is called "amblyopia."
The scary thing about amblyopia is that even if you start treatment after the period when your vision has developed, your vision will not develop. Therefore, if treatment is delayed, your eyes may not be able to see clearly even if you wear glasses or contacts.
The key to treating amblyopia is early detection and early treatment. The sooner you start, the more effective the treatment will be. Infants and young children do not complain about abnormalities in their vision.
〇For this reason, it is very important to have a visual acuity test at the 3-year-old health checkup and the legally required health checkup at kindergartens and nursery schools for early detection of amblyopia.
〇There are issues with reliability as there are individual differences in the growth of young children and testing methods are difficult (such as comprehension ability). Additionally, since measurements take time, there are issues with the labor on the part of the inspector and the concentration of young children. These issues also lead to the current problem of overlooking amblyopia during health checkups for 3-year-old children. In order to reduce problems as much as possible, it is important to improve your understanding before taking the vision test.
