Extended vision test
If you suspect that binocular vision is not good, vision should be thoroughly examined by a TrainYourEyes optometrist who performs an extended vision test.
Here your vision trainer compares the subjective problems with the objective results through a large number of recognized vision tests with international norm values. This is done to be completely sure that vision training should be initiated.
Here is an example of a vision training course
Thorough examination of vision and binocular vision
The course starts with clarification of whether problems with vision and binocular vision are the cause of your symptoms. It is not enough to determine whether you can see the letters on the eye chart. For reading skills, it is at least as important to examine whether the eyes work well enough together, and how the rest of the body functions in relation to this. Children under 10 are also referred to an ophthalmologist.
Calculation of individual training program and training
After the thorough vision examination, the optometrist can assess whether a TrainYourEyes training course is relevant. If so, they can tell you approximately how long it will take and what it costs. Then an individual training program is calculated with both physical and online exercises designed as games. You need to train about 20 minutes every day. It can be hard, so it is important to be motivated.
Check-ups
Every two to three weeks you come for check-ups with your TrainYourEyes optometrist, where the training is evaluated and continuously adjusted. In TrainYourEyes training, several visual functions are trained in parallel and the difficulty level increases with new exercises. When you train the recommended 20 minutes a day, results often come quickly - the more intensively and disciplined you train, the faster you complete the training program. Typically, a training program consists of 6-12 check-ups depending on the scope.
Final check-up
After about 4-8 months of training, the last exercise on the training program is completed. The initial thorough examination of vision and binocular vision is repeated to record both the subjective and objective improvements. When binocular vision is trained through TrainYourEyes, it typically does not regress again, unless you are unlucky and get e.g. a concussion or similar. The training is thus self-reinforcing.
Lasting results
When binocular vision is trained through TrainYourEyes, it typically does not regress again. The training strengthens the neural connections between the eyes and brain, creating permanent improvements in visual function. Most patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms within the first few months of training.
