For years, adults with amblyopia heard the same thing: the window closed in childhood. Newer research is more hopeful. In a review of 24 studies, adults doing structured visual training gained an average of about 1.7 lines on an eye chart.1 Eyeletics turns that research into a short daily two-eye training habit, built for adults and meant to be used alongside your eye doctor.

If someone told you "nothing more can be done," they weren't being careless. That was the standard view for decades. But researchers kept asking the question, and over the past twenty years the answer has become more hopeful. It isn't a miracle, and we'll be honest about the limits. It is a real reason to look again.
Research suggests the adult visual brain can still improve. In a 24-study review, adults gained an average of 0.17 logMAR (about 1.7 chart lines) with structured visual training.1
In one study, 74% of adults who played a dichoptic video game for 40 hours improved by at least one line on an eye chart.2 (One small study of 23 adults, not a typical or promised result.)
Dichoptic, two-eye training has been FDA-cleared as a treatment for children with amblyopia (Luminopia, ages 4 to under 13; CureSight, 4 to under 9). Eyeletics builds on the same research principles for adults. Eyeletics itself is not FDA-cleared.3,4
Studies have reported improvements in 3D depth perception (stereoacuity) after dichoptic training.2,5
Research doesn't all point the same way. The largest masked trial that included adults (BRAVO, 2018) found that its dichoptic game worked no better than a placebo game, and the researchers called for more engaging games and better ways to track training time.8 Across studies, average adult gains are around 1 to 2 lines, results vary widely, and some people don't improve. We'd rather tell you that now than oversell you later.

Every study, including the ones with disappointing results, in plain English. Individual results vary.
A focused session each day, designed for adult attention spans and busy schedules.
Amblyopia needs to be diagnosed by an eye care professional, who can also rule out other eye conditions. If you wear glasses, keep wearing them. Use Eyeletics alongside, not instead of, your glasses and regular eye exams.9
Red/cyan training glasses that fit over your regular glasses, plus access to the Eyeletics app on your [placeholder: supported devices].
Dichoptic games show a slightly different image to each eye through the filters, so both eyes have to contribute. It's two-eye training, not covering up your stronger eye.
Session length and plan details are in development. [Placeholder: recommended session length, set with our clinical advisor.] If you notice double vision, eye pain or sudden changes in your vision, stop training and contact your eye doctor.

Research suggests the adult visual brain can still improve. In a 24-study review, adults gained an average of about 1.7 chart lines with structured visual training1. That's an average, though: results vary widely, and some people don't improve. Please don't read it as a promise.
No, and we'd be wary of anyone who promises that. Eyeletics is a wellness and training program, not a medical device, and it doesn't diagnose or treat any disease. It's designed to help you train consistently, using the same principles studied in the research above.
No. Dichoptic, two-eye training has been FDA-cleared as a treatment for children with amblyopia (Luminopia and CureSight)3,4. Eyeletics builds on the same research principles for adults but is not itself cleared.
Both are FDA-cleared for children, not adults: Luminopia for ages 4 to under 13 (expanded from 4 to 7 in 2025), and CureSight for ages 4 to under 93,4. Eyeletics is built only for adults.
Yes. Keep wearing your glasses; the training glasses go over them. Every trial we cite used optical correction alongside training9. Get a comprehensive eye exam before you start, keep up your regular checkups, and share your progress with your eye doctor.
We don't claim that. In children's trials, binocular training did about as well as patching at best, and one large trial (ATS18) found that patching did slightly better7. Eyeletics is for adults who want a structured, two-eye way to keep training, ideally with their eye doctor's input.
Consistency matters. In clinical trials, results depended on how much people actually trained7,8. [Placeholder: recommended session length, set with our clinical advisor.] We're designing Eyeletics so a daily session fits into a normal adult day.
Eyeletics is built for adults. Children with amblyopia need care led by a clinician, so please talk to a pediatric eye doctor, who can discuss options including FDA-cleared devices made for kids.
