FAQ

Vision training is a daily exercise routine for your eye muscles. Just like standing up and stretching after sitting for a long time, it gets your eye muscles moving after prolonged screen use. It helps you build a habit of regular eye breaks, keeping the 6 extraocular muscles and the ciliary muscle active. Many users report noticeably less discomfort after sustained screen use once they've been doing it consistently.

Traditional eye exercises mainly involve massaging acupressure points around the eyes to physically relax muscles. Our training uses eye tracking, near-far focusing, and other methods to actively move the eye muscles. Both aim to give your eyes a break after heavy use — they just work differently and can complement each other.

Eye doctors typically recommend 2–3 minutes per session, 2–3 times a day. Best done after prolonged screen use — for example, after 2 hours of morning work, in the afternoon, or during evening study breaks. Avoid doing more than 10 minutes at once.

Stop immediately. Mild soreness in the first few sessions is normal, but if you experience pain, dizziness, blurred vision, or persistent discomfort, stop training and consult an eye doctor.

Want to relax after screen time → Focus Shift (works the ciliary muscle); Eyes feel stiff → Eye Rotation (moves all 6 extraocular muscles); Overall relaxation → Breathing Exercise; Full workout → Smooth Pursuit Training. Alternating between exercises is better than repeating just one.

Yes, but with parental supervision. Recommended for children 6 and older, with sessions no longer than 2 minutes. If your child already has vision issues, consult an eye doctor first.

Myopia typically stabilizes around age 18–20 (as the eyeball stops growing). However, poor eye habits can still cause slow changes in adulthood. High myopia (above -6.00 diopters) requires extra attention.

No. This is a common myth. Properly prescribed glasses do not worsen myopia. Not wearing glasses when needed actually increases the strain on your eyes' focusing system. Get your prescription from a qualified eye care professional.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has stated clearly that there is currently no scientific evidence that screen blue light damages eyes, and does not recommend buying special glasses to reduce blue light. The main causes of eye fatigue are close-up work and reduced blinking, not blue light itself.

The key factors are distance and duration. Phone screens are smaller, so people typically hold them closer (20–30 cm), while computer screens are usually 50–70 cm away. The closer the distance, the harder the ciliary muscle works. For the same amount of time, phone use does put more strain on the ciliary muscle.

Every 20 minutes of screen use, look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This is recommended by the AAO. 20 minutes is roughly when the ciliary muscle starts to fatigue, 6 meters is the distance at which it nearly fully relaxes, and 20 seconds is the minimum time for one relaxation cycle.

In darkness, your pupils dilate to let in more light, and the bright phone screen creates a harsh contrast that can cause discomfort. Eye doctors generally recommend using screens with some ambient lighting.

Natural light intensity (10,000–100,000 lux) is far higher than indoor lighting (100–500 lux). Bright natural light stimulates the retina to release dopamine, which is thought to help slow excessive eyeball growth. Plus, you're typically looking at distant objects outdoors, giving your ciliary muscle a break.

Carrots contain beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), which is essential for normal retinal photoreceptor function. However, for people with a normal diet, consuming extra amounts won't provide additional vision benefits. A balanced diet is more sensible than single-nutrient supplementation.
