Complications and treatment

After a stroke, which occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is also blocked, a variety of symptoms can occur depending on the area damaged. A common and sometimes noticeable complaint is experiencing double vision.

The cause of double vision after a stroke is often damage to the nerves that control the eye muscles. It can also be damage to the parts of the brain that are responsible for visual perception and its coordination.

Rehabilitation

Treatment for double vision includes eye muscle training, the use of prism glasses to correct vision, and surgical procedures to adjust the eye muscles may also be considered.

Rehabilitation and exercises that focus on improving
eye muscle function and eye coordination, are important in helping patients manage double vision and then regain as much normal visual function as possible.

An early and continuous rehabilitation process can be crucial to optimizing outcomes and improving quality of life for those affected by this condition after a stroke.

In the app you can easily follow your progress over time and receive recommendations 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.

Frequently asked questions:

What is trained with Imvi's VR training?

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.

How long do you have to train to see results?

For lasting results, 15 minutes of exercise, 4 times a week for at least 12 weeks is recommended.

The length of time you need to exercise depends on your current symptoms. Scientific studies show that most people need at least 12 weeks of exercise to achieve lasting improvements.

Once you have become symptom-free, we recommend that you continue training for the same length of time it took to become symptom-free to achieve permanent results.

For example: If you become symptom-free after 6 weeks of training, you should continue for another 6 weeks to ensure permanent results.

Many users notice improvements within the first few weeks, which increases motivation to continue. We guide you through every step to ensure you succeed at your own pace!

How long do the results last?

Studies show that improvements in coordination are permanent if you follow our training program long enough.

Can you exercise if you wear glasses/contact lenses?

Yes, nearsightedness is not affected by regular glasses or contact lenses.

However, the glasses must fit in the VR glasses. If you need glasses to see well at a distance of about two meters, you should use glasses.

People who use prism glasses, please contact us before training.

Does everyone who exercises get better?

We have trained over 4,000 people and over 99% of those who have completed the training have had improved comprehension/improved reading speed.

Are there any risks to exercising?

Consciousness training is risk-free, but the following people must consult us or their optician/orthoptist before training:

  • People with visible strabismus and/or who use prism lenses.
  • People with amblyopia (who have always had poor vision in one eye) or who were treated with a patch as a child.
  • People who have double vision after stroke, concussion and post-covid.
What streamed content can you watch?

Right now you can stream all content from SVT Play, YouTube, UR Play and Binogi in the app.

What type of VR glasses work for Imvis training?

We strongly recommend using only Imvis VR. We have evaluated a large number of VRs, and have optimized the training optically for the model we use. Our VRs have good optical properties, can adjust focus and pupil distance, work so that you can wear glasses underneath, can handle basically all screen sizes, are comfortable and easy to handle.

We also recommend that each person who trains uses their own VR, as sharpness and pupil distance settings differ between individuals.

All instructions are made to match our model.

We cannot provide support on how to use other models as we do not know all models. We also cannot guarantee the results as the optical properties may differ.

Can you train without VR glasses?

No, the VR glasses are needed so that each eye gets its own small monitor, which is needed for the training to work.

How much better can I get with training?

Studies show that the vast majority of people increase their reading speed by about 60% on average. For people with reading difficulties, the improvements are often significantly greater.

The symptoms associated with vision problems, such as headaches, fatigue, eye strain, and concentration problems, etc., decrease with exercise.

Who can benefit from Imvis VR training?

We have trained people between the ages of 7 and 81. All who have completed the training have improved their reading speed. Common symptoms of nearsightedness are headaches, fatigue, eye strain and concentration problems related to reading or close work.

We have seen very good results in people with vision problems , dyslexia and ADHD . People who have hidden strabismus , double vision , double vision after stroke , concussion or post-covid must consult us or their optician before training. People who read a lot or do a lot of close work can greatly benefit from our training.
