The exercises are self-adjusting via the algorithms. You can always contact a TrainYourEyes optometrist for extra guidance.

Yes — the training is evidence-based. You can read more under Research on the website.

Danish neuro-optometrist Maria Beadle, who has worked with vision training since 1994 and founded TrainYourEyes in 2000.

It is important that both eyes are used about equally. That is why many exercises are done partly with the eye patch and partly with the red/blue glasses, which make sure you use both eyes. The glasses are also used for 3D exercises.

Not necessarily — the colors must be compatible with the platform. Polarized glasses don’t work.

No! Red = right eye, blue = left eye. Otherwise you’ll train incorrectly.

Use Google Chrome, Safari, or Edge. Firefox is not optimal.

It may sound like your screen is zoomed in. On a computer, you can usually press Ctrl and - to zoom out. On an iPad, you can zoom out using pinch gestures.

From iPad and up. For certain exercises, e.g. Splitvision, a larger screen helps.

It’s possible, but not optimal. A larger screen is recommended.

Yes — use your usual screen correction, e.g. computer glasses. Also when using an eye patch or 3D glasses.

Use the reading area you normally look through.

You are most likely using Google Chrome and have accidentally enabled automatic translation to your language. Please refresh the page and make sure automatic translation is turned off.

Yes. The training is used from the age of 6–7, but children under 10 must train together with an adult.

With mild visual problems, training may help. For serious eye diseases, please contact an optometrist first.

No — please contact a TrainYourEyes optometrist for an individual assessment.

Yes, but it should be done in cooperation with an optometrist or therapist.

No — training can be used at any age. Under 18 requires parent/guardian consent.

Yes — the platform is available in multiple languages. You choose the language when you log in.

Yes — many older adults experience better reaction time, balance, and reading speed.

This means that your vision challenges may be more complex and could benefit from an individual assessment and a personalized training program.

Yes. However, the screening helps to assess whether online training is likely the right solution for you.

That is a good sign. Improvements often indicate that your binocular vision and visual skills are developing as expected.

Just relax. Just continue where you left off. Regular exercise is important, but a few breaks won't ruin your progress.

Both can work. However, we generally recommend completing all four exercises in the same training session.

The most important thing is that you train regularly. Choose a time when you are fresh and can train without interruptions.

Yes. Challenging exercises are often a sign that you are training the skills that need improvement the most.

Yes. Just as physical exercise can make the muscles tired, vision training can temporarily make the visual system tired.

Vision is an important part of athletic performance. Better visual skills can support faster reactions, better overview, and more precise visual processing.

Especially ball sports such as football, handball, tennis, baseball, ice hockey, and basketball can greatly benefit from visual training.

Yes. Many of the exercises train reaction time, eye movements, depth perception, and peripheral vision.

If visual skills contribute to reading difficulties, many children experience improvements in reading speed, reading comfort, and endurance.

Many users experience better focus. However, vision training is not a treatment for ADHD or other attention disorders.

The training focuses on visual skills. A more effective visual system can indirectly support both reading comprehension and learning.

Yes. Use your contact lenses in the same way you normally do for screen work.

Yes. A larger screen can be an advantage in certain exercises.

Yes. The platform requires an internet connection to save your results and provide access to the exercises.

Your access stops automatically after the 3 months. It is a one-time purchase, so nothing renews by itself. If you have not finished the training, you can extend one month at a time until you are finished.

Yes. If you have not finished within the 3 months, you can extend one month at a time until you have completed the training.

No. Your training history is saved and can be reactivated if you extend your access later.

Online training is designed for individuals with mild to moderate binocular vision problems, reading challenges, screen-related symptoms, and athletic goals. If your challenges are more complex, we recommend an individual 1:1 program with a vision trainer or optometrist.

A sport like football is very visually demanding. Players constantly need to shift their focus from near to far or vice versa. This requires agile adaptability and the eyes to hit the exact same point simultaneously. They must have control over their balance so that they do not lose focus in close encounters and heading situations, just as the vestibulo-ocular system must function optimally so they can focus while simultaneously in motion. They also need to control the weight transfer from the right to the left side and have good eye-foot coordination.

A fundamentally good and effortless coordination is also the basis for being good at learning new techniques. If a football player has problems using, for instance, one leg or one side of the body, this will typically also be true for one eye.

The eyes must work perfectly together all the time to have a good depth perception and timing. If the football player is not good enough at assessing the ball's speed and positioning precisely through sight, it affects the timing. Thus, he may either hit the ball incorrectly or position himself poorly.

Moreover, the football player must be able to utilize their peripheral vision and have control over their split vision to keep track of both teammates and opponents. Additionally, all the visual and motor skills must function optimally both under intense physical pressure and in stressful situations.

To quickly and accurately remember agreed strategies, be good at reading the game, and not least be able to envision both the perfect passes and medals around their neck, the visualization ability should be optimally functioning.

A sport like handball is very visually demanding. Players need to constantly shift their focus from near to far or vice versa. This requires agile adaptability and the eyes must hit the exact same point simultaneously.

To accurately judge distance, placement, and speed of the ball, the control of eye movements must be perfected, just as eye coordination needs to be precise in all gaze directions to assess a fast ball from all angles.

Moreover, both static and dynamic distance judgment must be top-notch at all distances and all gaze directions to have perfect timing.

The player must have control over their balance, be able to manage weight transfer from the right to the left side, and have good eye-hand coordination.

A fundamentally good and effortless coordination is also the basis for learning new techniques. If a handball player has issues using, for example, one side of their body, this will typically also apply to one eye.

The eyes need to work perfectly together at all times to have good distance judgment and timing. If the handball player is not skilled enough to accurately judge the speed and placement of the ball through sight, it will affect their timing. Distance judgment is truly put to the test when the player becomes physically exhausted during the match.

Additionally, the handball player must be able to utilize their peripheral vision and have control over their split vision to survey the court and fixation points while suppressing all impressions from spectators. The player should maintain full focus during the match, which demands a tremendous amount from the endurance reserves in the eyes.

Furthermore, all the various tactics must be learned and remembered with visualization ability – this must happen quickly and precisely. Last but not least, all visual and motor skills must function optimally under intense physical pressure, with a high heart rate, as well as in stressful situations.

A sport like shooting is very visually demanding. When the shooter needs to adjust the sight and shoot, they must have complete control over switching focus from near to far or vice versa. This requires a flexible adaptation ability and the eyes must hit the exact same point simultaneously. Endurance and concentration must be high so that the shooter can continue to maintain visual focus. The eyes need to work perfectly together all the time, even when one eye is covered during the shooting situation. This is necessary to have a good and precise distance estimation - within shooting, vision is indeed the most important reference point. Therefore, visual ability should also be maximally optimized.

At the same time, the shooter must be good at visualizing themselves making "the perfect shot". The overview must be good and precise, so that, for example, changes in wind flags can be registered. The shooter must also have complete control over their balance and coordination, so that the body is entirely under the control of the will. This is essential for the shooter to remain completely still during shooting. Even a slight movement of the body can mean great inaccuracy in the shot. The longer the distance, the greater the deviation. Furthermore, all the visual and motor skills must function optimally both under severe psychological pressure as well as in stressful situations.

A sport like biathlon is very visually demanding. During the actual ski run, the biathlete must constantly shift focus from near to far or vice versa. This requires a flexible ability to adjust and for the eyes to hit the exact same point simultaneously. Endurance and concentration must be high so that biathletes can continue to maintain their visual focus—even when shooting with an elevated pulse. The eyes must work perfectly together all the time to have a good and accurate distance judgment—both in skiing and shooting, vision is an incredibly important reference point.

At the same time, the biathlete must be skilled at visualizing the course after the initial run so that the details of the course are remembered. The same visualization ability should also be actively used to see oneself making the "perfect shot". The overview must be good and precise. The biathlete must also have complete control over their balance and coordination so that the body is fully under the control of the will, especially when switching between skiing and shooting, which requires a completely precise and stable posture. Furthermore, all visual and motor skills must function optimally both under intense mental pressure as well as in stressful situations.

A discipline like motorsport is visually demanding. Drivers need to constantly shift focus from near to far or vice versa. This requires a flexible ability to adjust and for the eyes to hit the exact same point simultaneously. Endurance and concentration must be high so that the driver can continue to maintain visual focus. The eyes must work perfectly together at all times to have a good and accurate distance judgment - in all high-speed sports, vision is an incredibly important reference point. At the same time, the driver must be good at visualizing the track, so that the details are remembered quickly, correctly, and visually. The overview must be good and precise – including the so-called split vision, so the driver can keep focus straight ahead while also being able to orient themselves to the sides. The driver must also have control over their balance so that they do not get motion sickness. The driver's coordination must be top-notch, so that the body is completely under the control of the will throughout the run. Additionally, all visual and motor skills must function optimally both under heavy mental pressure as well as in stressful situations.

A sport like hockey is very visually demanding. The player constantly has to shift focus from near to distant or vice versa. This requires agile adaptability and the eyes to hit the exact same point simultaneously. To accurately judge the distance, positioning, and speed of the puck, the control of eye movements must be perfected, just as eye coordination must be precise in all directions of gaze to assess a fast puck from all angles. The player must have control over balance, be able to manage the weight transfer from the right to left side, and have good eye-hand coordination.
The eyes must work perfectly together all the time to have a good depth perception and to utilize the peripheral vision to oversee both teammates and opponents. Additionally, all visual and motor skills must function optimally both under heavy physical pressure and in stressful situations.

A sport like snowboarding is visually demanding. Snowboarders need to constantly shift focus from near to far or vice versa. This requires agile adaptability and that the eyes hit the exact same point simultaneously. Endurance and concentration must be high so that the snowboarder can maintain visual focus. The eyes must work perfectly together at all times to have a good and accurate judgment of distance - in any high-speed sport, vision is indeed an incredibly important reference point. At the same time, the snowboarder must be good at visualizing various jumps and "tricks," so that the details are remembered quickly, correctly, and visually. The overview must be good and precise. Additionally, the snowboarder must have control over their balance and coordination, so that the body is entirely under the control of the will throughout the run. Furthermore, all visual and motor skills must function optimally both under high psychological pressure as well as in stress situations.
