An optical instrument used in eye examinations and vision therapy to test and treat eye coordination problems and amblyopia.
From Greek 'amblys' (blunt, dull) + 'skopeein' (to examine, to view) + English '-scope' (viewing instrument). Created as medical technology evolved in the late 19th century.
The amblyoscope is basically a video game for your eyes—it presents different images to each eye to train them to work together, and modern versions are actual digital games that make vision therapy way more fun.
