MyEyeGym is an app developed by the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC). It is an orthoptic eye exercise app for people who have an intermittent squint with difficulty maintaining good eye alignment. Squint (or strabismus, the medical term), is a condition where the eyes are not looking together in the same direction simultaneously, with or without the presence of double vision. There are many types of strabismus and MyEyeGym is suitable for only certain kinds, usually horizontal, non-paretic, and intermittent. Please check with your eye care professional to
see if you are suitable for these eye exercises.
Research has shown that performing fusion exercise with stereogram images is effective in improving the binocular status of people with certain types of strabismus. Besides aligning the eyes, these exercises help restore and maintain Stereopsis or 3D (three-dimensional) vision – where two images, one from each eye, are fused
(joined) together and seen as a single image in three dimensions. Stereopsis or 3D vision is important as the appreciation of depth is useful in situations such as threading a needle, running down the stairs, parking a car, playing ball games
like basketball or tennis, etc.
In MyEyeGym, you will find:
1. 18 amazing and interesting stereograms with cartoons and animation
2. Eye exercise images that are suitable for both adults and children
3. Various levels of difficulty to enhance improvement
4. Tools for tracking and recording compliance, as well as the levels achieved
5. Alerts to remind you when it is time to do the exercise
6. Bonus interactive games
What’s great is that the app is Fun, Engaging, Stimulating and Interactive with a variety of cartoons and animation.
Through this app, SNEC hopes to encourage those who need these exercises, to participate actively in the improvement of their visual function. With MyEyeGym, eye exercises never need to be boring again!
