General

What is an EyeHero?

What is included in the Eye Hero kit?

Eye Hero kit includes red and green training glasses and an activation code to start your program.

How many languages are available in Eye Hero?

Where do I activate my program?

You activate and access your program with the activation code provided with your kit. Start by logging into my.eye-hero.com

Do I need to set anything up before my first session?

Yes. Your first time setup includes a short onboarding process that helps calibrate your screen and set the right starting level for training.

How often should I train?

Consistency matters most. Many users aim for training at least five days per week or following the routine recommended by their provider.

How long does the training take?

Training typically consists of 2 x 15-minute sessions per day, at least 5 days a week. It provides you customizable training schedule and also offers you mini breaks between the games if needed.

Why do I wear red and green glasses?

The glasses help the program present visual information in a way that encourages both eyes to stay engaged together during the activity.

Will the exercises change as I improve?

Yes. The program adapts based on performance so tasks stay appropriately challenging over time.

Purchasing and payment

Do you ship Eye Hero to my country?

We ship worldwide to all countries, except to countries under UN trade restrictions (North Korea, Iran).

Does the time bought start running once I purchase?

No! Your access to EyeHero starts once you activate the software using the activation code you receive within the kit! Even if shipping takes longer, no time will be lost!

How long does it take to ship EyeHero?

It depends on the location. In general, you are looking at 2-3 business days for Europe, 3-5 business days for North America, and anywhere between 4-10 business days for other territories. We use a DHL courier service, so the delivery is safe, secure, and reliable.

Do you offer family discounts?

We do offer a family discount on multiple EyeHero subscriptions. Please, contact us through our website chat or at [email protected] and we will provide you with a special family discount code!

I ordered EyeHero but did not receive the box! What can I do?

When we shipped the box to you, you received a tracking code for DHL. You can check on their global tracking site where your box is located. If there is no information available, although more than 5 business days have passed, do reach out to [email protected] and we will contact our DHL support agent for assistance.

Is EyeHero available for free?

EyeHero is not available for free. 

Is there a coupon code available?

We occasionally run different promotions that will give you a discount after using a special coupon code. When these promotions are available, you will notice a banner on the top of the webpage. If there is no banner, there is never any harm in sending us a message in our online chat here on the webpage – and we will let you know if there is a code you can use!

Is there a trial to try EyeHero before I buy it?

A short trial does not provide enough time for the visual system to respond meaningfully to training, so families would not be able to accurately judge progress in such a limited window. In addition, Eye Hero requires the use of specific red–green glasses that we produce for our program to ensure optimal visual stimulation. These glasses are a core component of the training success.

Can I get a refund?

For any refund requests, we are approaching them case by case. Please contact us at [email protected].

My payment was not successful, what can I do?

Payments sometimes don’t go through, since the bank was not able to verify that the card was authentic. This is all in place to prevent any credit card fraud. It is often caused if the billing address does not match the address that your bank has in the database, or because there are differences between security protocols globally. What you can always do is give your bank a call and authorize payment to Smart Optometry (our company) and then try again. In the large majority of cases this will resolve the problem.

Alternatively, you can always use PayPal as a payment method. There are no additional charges for you and you can pay through their system with your credit card even without a PayPal account. In any case – even though this is an inconvenience, it is for the protection of your finances! We use the latest verification and authentication system to ensure that only completely verified transactions are processed!

What does the Eye Hero Kit include?

The Eye Hero Kit includes Eye Hero Glasses and an Activation Card with which you will activate your Eye Hero software!

What payment methods can be used to purchase Eye Hero?

You can use Credit Cards or PayPal to pay for your EyeHero purchase!

When does my Eye Hero expire?

You can check when your access expires within your account page (https://my.eye-hero.com). If you’re on a subscription plan, your access renews automatically until you cancel.
