What Eye Care Specialists Say

I strongly believe in the critical role binocular vision plays in daily life. When the eyes don’t work together efficiently, simple tasks like reading, driving, and even social interactions can become exhausting and frustrating. That’s why I am committed to making effective vision therapy more accessible through tools like Eye Hero, helping patients of all ages achieve clearer, more comfortable vision.

My passion for pediatric eye care makes me vigilant about electronics and screen time recommendations with my patients. However, having effective tools that encourage daily compliance has proved to be a crucial element of our vision therapy program. The online platform of Eye Hero has increased access to vision therapy services for our rural and out-of-state patients, while also improving home therapy adherence for those who visit us for in-office sessions less frequently.

When it comes to amblyopia treatment, relying solely on patching is outdated. Innovative solutions like Eye Hero and other dichoptic therapies offer more effective ways to improve both visual acuity and stereoacuity. Eye Hero is becoming a valuable tool in my vision therapy practice, helping patients achieve better visual function with modern, evidence-based methods that are fun and engaging for children and adults alike.

We live in a digital world now and after learning more about Eye Hero and how easy it is for patients to stay compliant with their at home program it was really an easy decision to incorporate it into his therapy program.

Eye Hero has filled a gap in my home therapy recommendations. A crucial aspect of vision therapy is that it has to be fun and engaging in order for the skills to become long lasting. Eye Hero has done a great job creating activities that encourage development of binocular skills while having fun!

Eye Hero has been an outstanding platform for extending the benefits of vision therapy to more patients in our clinic. It has expanded our ability to provide engaging and effective home therapy exercises while allowing us to oversee vision therapy for patients who live too far away for regular in-office sessions. Eye Hero has been supportive and easy to work with from the very beginning and continually adds new features that improve care for our patients. It has truly enhanced our practice’s ability to deliver long-lasting results in vision therapy.

Eye Hero is a straightforward, easy to use tablet-based dichoptic training program with a library of engaging, targeted therapy exercises. It emphasizes oculomotor efficiency, vergence/accommodation balance, visual-motor coordination, perceptual-cognitive processing, and spatial-peripheral awareness. It is a high compliance and easily monitored way to ensure vision therapy “homework” is performed between weekly office visits for patients of all kinds, not just strabismus and amblyopia. It can also be a reasonable addition for patients that are unable to perform weekly visits and have a more at-home based vision rehabilitation program with bi-monthly office visits, allowing clinicians to monitor compliance and progress closely in between office visits.

When I was first introduced to Eye Hero I recognized the potential for patient success immediately! I wished that I could go back and have all my patients have this fun experience at home to support their binocular system. We can now offer a treatment program that builds foundational skills to support binocular vision, oculomotor skills and visual information processing with different training options. We have versatility and entertainment wrapped into one functional home training system. We work so hard to make gains in the office just to be disappointed by the quality and quantity of the home reinforcement as it goes unmanaged and devalued. This program offers consistency and the ability to monitor patient compliance. It’s an option for waitlisted patients, traveling patients, patients needing a break from in office VT, or to do maintenance training post VT. It’s a relief to finally have a solution for home training that is low risk to the patient, affordable and provides easy patient management for doctors and therapists. Eye Hero has it figured out.

Eye Hero has become a key component in my approach to helping children with reading and academic difficulties. Its structured and engaging activities make it easier for families to maintain consistent home practice, which is essential for strengthening visual processing, attention, and binocular function. Integrating Eye Hero into my therapy programs has allowed my patients to make faster, more meaningful progress in reading fluency, comprehension, and overall learning performance.

Eye Hero has been a game-changer in the treatment of my patients! The well researched technology has improved compliance and has enhanced my ability to have patients achieve optimal visual function that transforms their quality of life.
