Amblyopia is visual impairment characterized by a structurally normal eye showing significantly lower visual acuity than the fellow eye. Traditional treatment of amblyopia includes patching the good eye to force the amblyopic eye to work during normal daily activities; however, this approach is are limited by low compliance. Recently, researchers proposed a new treatment for amblyopia: video game playing. In the current review, we discuss whether video game playing can treat amblyopia, whether video game playing could better treat amblyopia than traditional treatments, and how the video game treats amblyopia and its possible mechanism. Based on results from our literature review and meta-analysis, we suggest there is strong evidence for the effectiveness of video game treatments. Moreover, multiple factors within and outside of video games could influence the treatment effect.

弱视是以结构正常的眼睛为特征的视力障碍，其视力明显低于对侧眼睛。弱视的传统治疗包括修补好眼，迫使弱视眼在正常的日常活动中工作；然而，这种方法受到低合规性的限制。最近，研究人员提出了一种治疗弱视的新方法：玩电子游戏。在当前的综述中，我们讨论了玩电子游戏是否可以治疗弱视，玩电子游戏是否比传统治疗能更好地治疗弱视，以及电子游戏如何治疗弱视及其可能的机制。根据我们的文献回顾和荟萃分析的结果，我们建议有强有力的证据证明电子游戏治疗的有效性。而且，
