Galaxy Vision Training vs Eye-Opener Usage & Stats
Can you improve your vision? Vision research says yes!
Our brain is capable of many things. If you've ever played an instrument or a sport, you already know that the more you practice or train, the better and stronger you get. Much of this has to do with how your brain coordinates your activity. But beyond these activities, the brain is capable of improving in almost every area. This includes improving the way we see the world around us.
When we look at an object, our eyes take all that visual information that we see and pass it on to the brain for processing. This information passes into the visual cortex of the brain where we interpret what we see.
It turns out that the brain processes this visual information through distinct patterns. These patterns can be closely approximated by something called gabor patches. Challenging your brain by looking at these patterns can strengthen the way we process vision. It's like practice for your eyes.
Galaxy Vision is a fun vision training app utilizing these gabor patches. Instructions are pretty simple. Identify the correct orientation of the image. As you successfully select the correct image, the difficulty will increase significantly. This won't be easy; this is meant to be challenging.
The best way to use Galaxy Vision is to use it regularly. The more work you put in, the more work you can get out.
Take your vision to the next galaxy!

Eye-Opener is a simple app to help you expand your peripheral vision field.
When we work on a computer or read a book, quite often we tend to concentrate too much on a very narrow area in our visual field.
That creates a tension, both mental - in our mind - and physical - in the muscles around our eyes and neck.
This app is designed to expand your visual field and reduce this tension.
When you work on a computer, place your phone within a hand's reach somewhere in your peripheral vision.
You should be able to see the phone if you shift your eyes without moving your head.
Tap the start button. The app will show a moving bar. Start working on the computer. At the same time expand your peripheral vision, so you could detect the movement on your phone.
After a while the moving bar will disappear. When you notice it, tap the screen of your phone.
The moving bar will reappear and a new cycle will start. Continue working on the computer.
If you wait too long after the moving bar disappears and don't tap the screen, the app will notify you with a sound or vibration.
You can set up the reaction time - how much time you need to react before the sound starts.
In the beginning, you may feel distracted. That's ok. Your brain needs time to unlearn this bad habit of staring too much in one spot. Be patient!
After a while, you will find this new way of seeing much more dynamic and comfortable. After all our ancestors survived because they had excellent peripheral vision!
Available settings:
- minimum and maximum cycle length
- reaction time (how much time you need to react to the disappearance of the moving bar before the app reminds you with the sound or vibration)
- animation speed
