Already in January there was a feeling that something was about to happen.
The year began with Vinnova granting planning support for Imvi Pro. Shortly thereafter, SVD Junior featured our training, and we participated in Educca in Helsinki together with Binogi. At the same time, several schools started the training, including in Grankulla and Albatross Montessori on Lidingö, and Vi Lärare/Specialpedagogik wrote about us after a parliamentary seminar.
And then it continued.
February
Research began to articulate what we had seen in practice. A master's thesis at Karolinska Institutet showed significant improvements in convergence insufficiency. We initiated a collaboration with Linsen Optik, and VR researcher Petter Wannerberg from RISE highlighted Imvi in the podcast Lifelong Learning.
March
Two front pages at the same time – Svenska Dagbladet and Aftenposten. In the same month, Imvi was launched in Norway, our first major venture outside Sweden.
April
We participated in the SETT fair in our own award-winning booth, where teachers stopped, tested, and asked questions. At the same time, a collaboration with Pusselfamiljen began, an important step closer to the families who need support the most.
May
Imvi became part of the Swedish pavilion at SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025. We met with the Shibuya Education Board and participated in an interview on Shanghai Mediagroup DragonTV. Swedish vision training took its place on the international stage.
June
The pace continued. Supersession and graduation at CDL in Toronto, presence in Almedalen, and TV4 visited Friskolan Hästens to show how VR training works in reality. Articles followed in Siljan News and Smålandsposten.
July
International research showed that 80% of poor readers and 40% of good readers have mild preclinical binocular vision problems. A Wisconsin case (2007–2015) confirmed that vision training in schools yields good results – but at a cost of USD 5,000 per student. In the same month, a collaboration with optics chain Silmatark began, and Imvi Pro was fully developed.
August
We participated in the Klarsynt fair, exhibited at Denice Sverla's book launch, and received delegations from Japan and the Malmö Primary School Administration. Interest continued to grow.
September
At Optometry Days, we met professionals who work daily with eyes and vision. A collaboration with LTH began, where four students completed a consulting project. Mitt i Stockholm wrote about VR training at Hästens in Farsta.
October
Professor Rune Brautaset lectured at Skolporten's conference on binocular vision and reading ability. We exhibited at the Digital Competence Day, Move Pedagogik in Västerås, and Unikum's key person meeting. New meetings, new conversations – every week.
November
The year came to a close. The EU project DIGIT-PRE for the development of training in post-stroke rehabilitation concluded. We were approved for wellness grants, participated in the Specsavers Clinical Conference, and were published in Special Nest.
Caroline Sjölin, with 13 years as a principal and 23 years in education, joined the team.
At Teachers Advise Teachers, principal Anna Lerin presented her experiences with VR training in full class at Albatross Montessori. In Skolpodden, principal Stojanka Drinic from Östermalmsskolan shared her results.
At the same time, new training content was launched with JupiterTV and YLE Arenan for Estonia and Finland.
December
The year ended strong. Nykvarn municipality invited us to a kick-off meeting for the spring semester of 2026, where we will train all third-grade students at Furuborgsskolan. KI's Optometry Program and Synologen examined classes in grades 6-7: 25% had binocular vision problems. We also presented at Skåne Innovation Day.
What it means
This isn't about front pages or trade shows.
It's about children & adults who can read longer, those who no longer have to struggle as hard in everyday life, and about people who have lived with binocular vision problems without knowing why daily life was difficult.
2025 became the year when binocular vision training went from niche to necessity.
From Sweden to Norway, Estonia, Finland – and Japan.
From idea to reality in classrooms.
Thanks to all schools, opticians, researchers, students, partners, users, and parents who have been involved.
2026 awaits.
