Passive activities like watching cartoons don't strengthen the eye. Finding a hidden piggy requires 'active scanning'—forcing the eye muscles to search and fixate, which is crucial for vision development.
We use specific high-contrast color palettes and 'crowded' visual environments. This helps train the brain to separate objects from their background, a key skill often impaired in amblyopia.
The act of spotting a target and precisely clicking or tapping it builds essential hand-eye coordination pathways, reinforcing the connection between vision and action.
Level transitions feature Gabor patch animations—scientifically proven patterns that optimally activate the visual cortex neural pathways.
15-20 minutes per session.
Best played on a Tablet or Desktop (bigger screen is better).
Wear the eye patch on the "good eye" while playing.
Keep 30-40cm distance from the screen.
Amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, is a vision development disorder in which an eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Early detection is key. Look for signs like squinting, shutting one eye, or head tilting. Comprehensive eye exams are recommended at 6 months, 3 years, and before starting school.

It is a free, browser-based game designed to support vision therapy for children with Amblyopia (lazy eye). It gamifies the 'patching' time.
Suitable for toddlers (3+) to adults. For young children, we recommend parental guidance to ensure they are scanning actively.
No, you only need an eyepatch to cover the "good eye". The game works on any standard mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop screen.
Please follow your ophthalmologist's prescription. Typically, active therapy is recommended for 15-30 minutes daily.
Yes! Startling new research in neuroplasticity shows adults can improve visual acuity and contrast sensitivity with consistent training.
No. This tool makes patching more effective by converting passive time into active therapy, but you must still wear the patch!
Yes. We rely on non-intrusive ads to pay for server costs so that this supportive recreational tool can remain accessible to everyone.
No. This is a supportive recreational tool. Always follow the specific medical advice and patching schedule prescribed by your doctor.
The Struggle is Real. We know the tears. We know the battles. Research indicates that adherence to patching therapy can be as low as 50% due to emotional distress and boredom (PEDIG, 2003). Telling a child they must cover their "good eye" for hours every day is heartbreakingly difficult when the alternative is monotonous activities like reading or coloring.
Active vs. Passive. Piggy Peekaboo is built on the principles of Perceptual Learning. Unlike passive activities like watching TV, our game requires Active Vision Therapy. By engaging the child in a task that requires active scanning, discrimination, and rapid focus, we stimulate the visual cortex more effectively, capitalizing on neuroplasticity to strengthen the neural pathways from the "lazy" eye. Recent clinical studies (2023) demonstrate that gamified and digital therapies can effectively improve adherence and visual outcomes.
Joy Meets Progress. Beyond staying 100% free, we strive to create an engaging environment. We want children to want to practice, gaining confidence through achievement and seeing real visual progress.
