A new app that claims to be able to improve people’s eyesight by ‘training’ them with a series of exercises has become a hit.
Called GlassesOff, it uses a series of patterns to create 15 minutes exercises for users.
If done three times a week, its makers say it could mean they no longer need reading glasses after three months.
‘Traditionally, near distance reading improvement solutions were limited to optical corrections such as glasses, contact lenses and refractive surgery,’ said said Nimrod Madar, CEO of GlassesOff.
‘However, human vision performance is in fact limited by two factors: the quality of an image captured by the eye and the image processing capability of the brain as it interprets such images.
‘Our solution is designed to improve reading by enhancing the image processing function of the visual cortex, demonstrating the amazing potential of the human brain.
‘We created this app because we wanted to empower people who experienced natural age-related changes in reading ability to take control of their vision and improve their quality of life.
‘Our personalized app constantly adapts according to users’ progress, with the ultimate goal of freeing them from dependency on magnifying devices such as reading glasses.”
The GlassesOff app is free to download from the App Store and offer users access to a vision evaluation and the first segment of the GlassesOff program.
After Using the GlassesOff app for approximately two weeks, users will be given the option to subscribe to the full version, which includes additional advanced segments, for $59.99.
However, during the launch, subscriptions will be offered at a special price of just $9.99.
