How Eyeletics Works: Binocular Training for Adults

Two eyes, one team. A focused session each day, designed for adult attention spans and busy schedules.

Two eyes, one team: how binocular training works at home

A focused session each day, designed for adult attention spans and busy schedules.

Start with an eye exam

Amblyopia needs to be diagnosed by an eye care professional, who can also rule out other eye conditions. If you wear glasses, keep wearing them. Use Eyeletics alongside, not instead of, your glasses and regular eye exams.9

1

Get your kit

Red/cyan training glasses that fit over your regular glasses, plus access to the Eyeletics app on your [placeholder: supported devices].

2

Train with both eyes

Dichoptic games show a slightly different image to each eye through the filters, so both eyes have to contribute. It's two-eye training, not covering up your stronger eye.

3

Track and stay consistent

Session logs, streaks and community check-ins keep you going on the days motivation dips, because in trials, consistency mattered.7,8 Share your progress with your eye doctor.

Session length and plan details are in development. [Placeholder: recommended session length, set with our clinical advisor.] If you notice double vision, eye pain or sudden changes in your vision, stop training and contact your eye doctor.

What is dichoptic training?

"Dichoptic" means showing a different image to each eye. With red/cyan filter glasses, a screen can send red elements to one eye and cyan elements to the other, so both eyes have to contribute to play. In many dichoptic designs, the image shown to the stronger (fellow) eye is reduced in contrast, so the weaker eye carries more of the load. This is two-eye training, not covering up your stronger eye.

What a session looks like

Put your glasses on (and the training glasses over them), open the app on a supported device, and play a short game. The app logs your session so you can see your consistency over time. Session length: TBD with clinical advisor. Supported devices: TBD.

What adults can realistically expect

Research suggests the adult visual brain can still improve: in a 24-study review, adults gained an average of about 1.7 chart lines with structured training.1 Consistency matters. In clinical trials, results depended on how much people actually trained.7,8 Results vary widely, and some people don't improve.

Stop training and contact your eye doctor if you notice double vision, eye pain, eye strain that doesn't settle, or sudden changes in your vision.
Individual results vary. Eyeletics is a wellness and training program, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or treat any disease.
