Find where to start
Tick everything that sounds like you. This is not a diagnosis — it just points you at the program most likely to match, so you are not picking exercises at random. Nothing you tick is sent anywhere or remembered.
Which of these sound like you?
Do not start a program — get seen — if any of these apply
- Sudden onset of double vision, or a new eye turn in an adult
- Sudden loss of vision in one eye
- Flashes of light, or a sudden shower of new floaters
- A curtain or shadow moving across your field of vision
- Eye pain with nausea and haloes around lights
- Double vision alongside headache, weakness, slurred speech or a drooping eyelid
Before your first session
1. Get the prescription right
An uncorrected refractive error will sabotage every exercise here, and a small amount of uncorrected farsightedness or astigmatism causes exactly these symptoms. If your last eye exam was more than two years ago, start there.
2. Ask for the right exam
Ask for a binocular vision assessment, not just a standard eye exam. It should cover near point of convergence, accommodative amplitude and facility, fusional ranges, eye movements and stereopsis.
3. Take a baseline
Measure your program’s checkpoint before you train anything, and write it down somewhere yourself. Without a starting number you cannot tell improvement from optimism — and you will need it at the week-four plateau.
4. Set a dose you will actually do
Fifteen minutes daily beats an hour twice a week, and it survives a bad day. Anchor it to something that already happens — after coffee, before dinner.
