I started using this app when Glassoff went offline. Glassoff was an app that had more scientific researches support its efficacy of keeping off reading glasses as one ages. Unfortunately it went out of business and that’s when I started using this app, EyeRecovery. For the past two years, this app is also able to keep me off reading glasses, even though there are more difficult days. But overall, I can still read about 4 pts size without any aid. The “game” here is more fun than Glassoff too, even though both can be boring. I recommend this app for those who want to read without reading glasses. I am not sure how much longer this app can continue to adjust my sight but for now I use this app for about 10 minutes per day.

I first got it after getting a little far sighted in my 40s. The 3-minute eye test game, although a little monotonous, does wonders for my vision. I see results IMMEDIATELY afterwards. I would just play one game every night, but occasionally forgot or was too lazy to do so. Now with iOS 15, there is a home page widget, which I really love! I just glance at the widget for a few seconds several times a day and my eyesight is sharp. The widget is always there and reminds me to do this. No reading glasses needed!

I’m almost 50 and for the past few years I’ve been using reading glasses more frequently and in general have been having more vision problems like difficulty focusing, blurred or even double vision. Well after just a few days of doing these exercises, my vision is much improved! I don’t understand it but I like it.

This actually works. If you work it. Sure playing the game is fun and trying to show everybody how great you are and how quick you can find those other ones is good for your ego but if you really want your eyes to improve you need to slow down and look at each image carefully, and don’t really care about your score.
