Features & Capabilities

Eyes feeling tired? Give them five minutes. Five science-backed exercises to build a gentle daily habit for tired, aging eyes. Everything is free, supported by ads.

Focus Gym is an eye training app for people who are starting to notice changes in their near vision. Built around one idea — a gym for your eyes, five minutes a day — it helps you turn five science-backed exercises into a daily habit.

FIVE TRAININGS

Near-Far Focus Shift your gaze between near and far targets to work the flexibility of the ciliary muscle. Reference: Ciuffreda et al., Optometry and Vision Science, 2011

Pursuit Tracking Follow a moving target smoothly to exercise the coordination of the extraocular muscles. Reference: Scheiman et al., Optometry and Vision Science, 2005

Convergence Training Work the convergence muscles to support how your eyes team together. Step-by-step guidance and haptic cues keep you on tempo. Reference: CITT Study Group, Archives of Ophthalmology, 2008

Gabor Patch (the strongest evidence base) Perceptual learning with striped Gabor patches. It stimulates the brain's primary visual cortex directly and supports contrast sensitivity. Reference: Polat et al., Scientific Reports, 2012

Blur-to-Clear Training Just watch as blurred text gradually sharpens. A passive way to exercise the focusing action of the ciliary muscle. Reference: Scheiman et al. (2005) / PMC3361569 (2012) / PubMed 28097018 (2017)

IMPORTANT

This app is not a medical treatment or device. It does not promise improved eyesight or a cure for presbyopia. If you notice anything unusual with your eyes, please consult an eye care professional.
