Abstract

A 12-year-old boy with small-angle secondary exotropia and minimal amblyopia experienced photo-induced epilepsy after using the Translid Binocular Interactor, a device designed to treat several of the motor and sensory abnormalities of the eyes alternately with a bright flash at 10 cps. Whether or not the device is effective, it is potentially dangerous to susceptible individuals.
