System and method for managing amblyopia and suppression

A computing device for managing amblyopia and suppression, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a visual task module coupled to the processor, wherein the visual task module is to:
• generate, on a display device, a first visual element and a second visual element during a computer implemented therapeutic activity, wherein the computer implemented therapeutic activity for improving stereoscopic acuity comprises a plurality of stages, and wherein each of the first visual element and the second visual element comprises:
• a first image and a second image, separated by an offset, wherein the first and the second image have different visual characteristics, and wherein as a result of the offset between the first image and the second image of both the first visual element and the second visual element, the corresponding one of the first visual element and the second visual element are to appear at different stereoscopic depths, relative to each other, when viewed through a pair of dissociative glasses;
• prompt a user to provide a response at every stage of the computer implemented therapeutic activity;
• receive a series of responses during a respective stage of the computer implemented therapeutic activity from the user;
• based on the series of received user's response, modify the offset value between the first image and the second image of at least one of the first visual element and the second visual element during the computer implemented therapeutic activity,
• wherein modifying the offset value between the first image and the second image of at least one of the first visual element and the second visual element is to change the stereoscopic depth of the first visual element to match with the stereoscopic depth of the second visual element, when the two images are viewed by a user using the pair of dissociative glasses;
• and
• wherein modifying the offset value of the at least one of the first visual element and the second visual element during the computer implemented therapeutic activity to increase the level of difficulty of visual challenges comprises:
• comparing the series of user's responses, received during the said stage of the computer implemented therapeutic activity, using an assessment criteria for a pre-defined number of times;
• based on the comparison, determining a new offset value of the plurality of visual elements during the computer implemented therapeutic activity to correspond to an increased level of difficulty of the visual challenges;
• and
• based on the modified offset value, display the modified first visual element and the second visual element during a successive stage of the computer implemented therapeutic activity.
