ADULTS AND VISION THERAPY

I started vision therapy after 30 days of vestibular therapy from toxic mold poisoning from a leaky pipe in our condo's laundry room.  I lost my ability to see clearly and converge.  I had 18 percent use of convergence in my left eye and I was so nauseated and could not drive.  After 12 sessions my ability to converge was raised to 80 percent.  The key to keeping your ability to converge as an adult is what you do at home on a daily basis.  Vision therapy sessions run up to $200 a session.  AmblyoPlay was my answer!  I can work convergence or I can work just my left eye.  It's nice to have a preprogrammed format I can follow, and this helps me on days when I don't want to work the Brock string.  Vision therapy absolutely works for adults and I'm happy to have an at-home app that allows me to reduce my visits with my therapist which saves me thousands.

I am a 22-year-old AmblyoPlay user and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has Amblyopia or a ‘lazy eye’ as it is commonly known as. The app uses games where each eye has to work together to complete, forcing the brain to use both eyes at the same time. Even as an adult, I can see a small but definite improvement in my binocular vision and lazy eye visual acuity. I wish to thank the AmblyoPlay team for their work and can only imagine the effect this app has on children who respond much better to Amblyopia treatment than adults.

If you’re an adult and you’re on the fence just know that Amblyoplay is great for adults, and not just for kids. I was hesitant at first because it seemed to be aimed at children predominantly but the games were pretty challenging and fun. The goal is to do 30 minutes daily but it’s broken up into two 15 min increments to make it feasible for someone with a busy schedule like me. I could see how this can also keep children engaged. The games require you to challenge yourself by improving your score each time. It keeps you from getting bored. It’s also easy to track your progress because they provide a dashboard that provides you information on changes to your vision by doing weekly vision checks. It also gives you metrics on your process with the games! I purchased six months and noticed some improvement. I decided i am going to continue for a while longer!
