Delta i studie på Optikerprogrammets magisterutbildning, Karolinska Institutet

Are your eyes tired at the end of the day? Maybe it's due to lack of eye coordination or consensus problem which can be trained.

You now have the chance to participate in a study where you get to try a new form of training to train your convergence system using VR technology. We are looking for you with a convergence near point (KNP) that is worse than 10 cm, possibly have an exophoria that is larger at close range than at distance, or who know that you have a convergence insufficiency.

The training goes like this:

For three weeks, you will use a VR headset that we will provide you with. You connect your mobile phone via an app and train at home. Training is done by looking at images, SVT Play or Youtube, among other things.

Before and after the training, we will perform some measurements of your vision. This is to see if the measurements improve. You must therefore be able to come to the optician training premises, Eugeniavägen 12 in Solna, on two occasions. Each visit is expected to take about 45 minutes.

Are you curious?

Contact us with your questions and we will tell you more.

This is how our training works:

Stream your favorite series in VR

Train easily by watching content via the Imvis app.

Workout while streaming your favorite shows

Through the app you choose what type of content you want to watch. We currently support content from Youtube, SVT Play, Binogi, UR Play and content directly from your phone's camera roll.

Train your consensus

The app makes the image swing from right to left, but you perceive it as an image.

You watch series -
Our App does the rest

The training focuses on improving the brain's control of the eyes for better eye coordination. This improves blood flow and oxygenation of the brain, which increases reading speed, reading endurance and concentration.

Follow your progress

In the app you can easily follow your progress and get tips for continued training.

Personalized tips based on your progress

In the app you can follow your or your children's development and results. We offer free accounts for parents to monitor their children's progress! After completing the training, you will receive personal recommendations for further training based on your results and progress.
