NeuroVision™
We are pleased to provide the NeuroVision™ service to our patients. NeuroVision™ is a scientific method of improving vision especially for those with Amblyopia (‘Lazy’ Eye).
NeuroVision™ is an innovative technology that enhances sight using online vision training programs. It is a result of over 20 years of scientific study and it is the only clinically-tested vision enhancement training system based on the latest neuro-scientific technology and understanding (www.neurovision.com.sg). Basically, NeuroVision™ trains the brain to see sharper by performing a series of NeuroVision™ patented computerised and customised visual tasks.
How Does It Work?
The NeuroVision™ program trains the brain to see better by improving the way it processes and interprets visual information. It also improves contrast sensitivity. In other words, you can see better contrast and differentiate many different shades of gray. It is like improving a camera image from 3 megapixel resolution to 9 megapixel resolution.
Benefits of NeuroVision™
- It is 100% surgery-free and medication-free and therefore, there are no risks or side effects
- It is convenient and training can be done in the privacy of your own home
- It is the only clinically-tested vision enhancement training system
- Vision improvement is usually noticeable after only 10 treatments
- The effects are permanent
