Introduction: Epilepcy is a chronic and neurological disease. The aim of this study was to determain the effectiveness of computer gamesbased on visual skills on visual perception and concentration of children with epilepsy disorder.
Materials and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of this study was all children with epilepsy disorders referring to the epilepsy disorder treatment center in Mashhad. The sample was 30 these individuals have been selected and voluntarily selected according to the criteria and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The tools used in this research were the computer focus test (COG) (2012) and the Frostheit Visual Perception Test (1982). Finally, the data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using covariance analysis. For this purpose, SPSS-24 software was used.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean post-test scores of visual perception (P <0.01) and concentration (P0.05) after elimination of pre-test. The mean score of the post-test group was significantly more than the control group, which meant that the use of computer games in visual skills increased visual perception and concentration.
Conclusion: The results showed that the use of computer games in visual skills increased visual perception, and concentration on the experimental group in the post-test phase, compared with the control group.

Background: The world's elderly population is increasing and fall is an outcome of ageing. Visual disturbance is one of the internal risk factors of falling. The aim of this study was to compare of the visual perception as a subgroup of visual disturbance in the City of Sabzevar, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In the present case-control study, based on convenience sampling method, 89 older adults (46 faller and 43 non-faller) were enrolled. All participants were assessed as follow: dementia (Hachinski ischemia score), fall (fear of fall questionnaire) and visual perception (Developmental test of visual perception adolescence and Adult). Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 17.0 using Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: A significant difference was observed between general visual perception (p
