The LCG (Liquid Crystal Glasses) comprise of electronic shutter that is incorporated into the optical refractive lens. It is controlled by preprogrammed microchip and is activated over the sound eye in short intervals. These CLOSE – OPEN sessions exercise the weak eye and enforce its use.
Exercising of the weak eye is performed all day long while glasses are worn. It strengthens the amblyopic eye, improves the visual acuity and enhance binocular vision as well.
The fact that the sound eye is occluded for short periods only makes it very convenient to the child and easily adopted by him.

This information is also valuable to the ophthalmologist or the optometrist and is important part for further treatment prescription.
