AmblyoPlay Anmeldelser 

Discovering & using Amblyoplay as an adult has dramatically improved my vision & FAR exceeded my expectations.

I learned to read aged 3 but it soon became apparent that I had great difficulty with any ball games as I couldn't judge distance. A school sight test revealed I had one strong long-sighted eye & a very weak short-sighted one. 1970s glasses, patches & frequent trips to the opthalmologist up to age 16 didn't really make a difference. At school, I found I could read words upside down, back to front & vertically (I now realise it was all about the shapes) but was hopeless with maths (which requires correct digit-by-digit accuracy, which wasn't possible as eye's didn't focus together). In adolescence & adulthood I suffered with visual disturbance, migraines, neck & shoulder strain - not really helped by a career in editing!

Over time, my weaker right eye increasingly turned outwards, which looked weird & shattered my confidence, exacerbated by the thick convex balancing lens. The introduction of varifocal & thinner lenses was a significant improvement, but I was still hampered with judging distance & reading comfortably. The impact has got worse now the world has switched from passwords to pin numbers or codes & phone numbers. Even worse, all of these are now being presented as a string of (usually tiny) digits without any breaks, which puts me at a great disadvantage. Not to mention frustration.

Completely unrelated to this, my son chose optometry as a degree. On an open day he discovered that computer programmes have been developed to help children with amblyopia. I had assumed it was a rare condition but is obviously far more common now. Not one for the shooting-based games, while looking for alternatives, I am very grateful to have discovered Amblyoplay.
The programme’s exercises are based on standard (retro) games, including Tetris, Crossy Road, Flappy Bird, Catch the Birdie, Maze, Collect Shapes, Catch Monsters, Planets etc, all of which require specific eye movements. Regular Amblyoplay email articles explain how each helps and shares easily explained research. Unused to computer games I did need teenage help, as well as the tutorials, but have now honed my skills and settled on favourite games, based on challenge + enjoyment.

The best part for someone non-competitive like me is that progress is entirely from your results, rather than external league tables. Amblyoplay does also provide for other family members, with stand-alone games that children & grandchildren can play alongside, to make it more fun. Daily sessions comprise 3 varied games & 2 standard eye movement exercises; a 20-minute break; then another 3 games & 2 exercises. Unexpectedly, the hour of time-out from life that these sessions bring has become immensely beneficial & important to me in terms of mental health. It’s rare to be able to be so self-absorbed with a positive activity: A real added bonus - as long as I turn the programme’s sound off! Though, some evenings it’s a rush to ensure the session is completed before midnight. If it overruns, the programme records the session as being on the following day, which can prevent sessions until the day after.

Improvement relies on regular use & the programme gives very helpful motivation from feedback after each session + weekly email summaries. The first tangible feedback for me was from the Brock String where I progressed from finding it impossible to see the coloured balls (even with my glasses that contain a prism), to seeing them very easily without glasses. An admission here: I also gain motivations & huge satisfaction from the rewards of personalising the series of characters along the way. NB: If you’re desperate to gain sufficient points to finish a character; this can be helped by relatives playing the stand-alone games!

After 11 months, my optician is very impressed & has now prescribed glasses that no longer exclude the weak eye, but use it.
Best of all, as my binocular vision has improved so much reading is easier, I no longer drop as many things, my eye & neck strain have reduced ….. AND my right eye looks straighter in the socket rather than drifting to the side. He’s now finding out more about Amblyoplay to recommend it to other patients – so hopefully a good result for the Amblyoplay team too.

THANK YOU TO THE AMBLYOPLAY TEAM FOR IMPROVING MY LIFE.

My 10 year old son has used Amblyoplay for 3 months, usually 5 times a week and his skills improved. He was not tires when reading anymore and had more motivation to play games involving the ball.
First I thought it was only playing games, but its actually difficult to stay focus and perform well. I tried myself some indovidual games when he finished the daily therapy. Anyway, I recommend it!

AmblyoPlay is a bright and fun program that demonstrates a great deal of research and consideration in its design. The games are varied and entertaining. My daughter struggled at first to figure some of them out, which led to some frustration. However, she now does well with them and stays focused throughout her sessions. We found it helpful to play a podcast or music while she does it to also keep her engaged. It's hard to tell fully how this has helped her vision, but we can see improvement and look forward to seeing what the eye doctor will say when she is done!

It's fine - it's just not a £70/mo subscription.

Selling to adults is kind of a side business for them I think - there is no explanation anywhere on what the games are doing or training, and in some of them, you can see things with both eyes and some only with one - I don't know if this is a bug or if this is training strabismus - no idea.

When, as an adult, you invest time and money into something, you really want to know exactly what you're doing with that time and money, and I do like the games and I do see improvements (and a slight increase in diplopia which I assume to be temporary), but again I just don't know what I'm supposed to be training.

There's another exercise - I assume it's to train fusion; I say I assume because, again, there is no explanation or anything; you just do it - I don't really know what 'it' is either zero documentation or explanation anywhere other than the sentence that I assume is written for kids.

I would probably continue with it, but for that price, no way. There are cheaper things marketed towards adults out there.

P.S. If you can't fuse perfectly, that Tetris game is absolutely horrible, you can't see the pieces correctly.

I've been using Amblyoplay for my Daughter in order to improve her 3D vision for a few months now and the experience was harmful.
It took me a long while to realize that she can see both colors (Red and Green) on her right eye (red lens) due to a bug in the game which made her use only her right eye instead of both (She was able to barely see red through the red lens, but still enough to see).
I spoke to support who admitted there is a bug and after I urged them that this is serious they returned and then said they did a full system check and I should recalibrate my screen which didn't make a difference.
Since then, I have been trying to contact support for a reply but they haven't answered me for a few weeks now.

What I am trying to say is that the research behind the idea of the game is promising but I think the software is not medical grade and a slight glitch will cause it not to improve your kids sight but it can also make your kids vision worse by using the stronger eye without noticing (it's kids).

So if you are using the game for you or your kids, I urge you as an adult to put the glasses and play for a few minutes each game, switching eyes and making sure that you can't see both colors in one eye (for me specifically the red lens).
Overall at this stage I would choose a proper medical program over this game.

Após três meses de utilização a visão da minha filha já. Apresenta melhorias.

Pela nossa experiência pessoal, temos tido excelentes resultados, com esta terapia.
E o facto das crianças terem diversos jogos e poderem escolher os que preferem jogar diariamente, acaba com a monotonia e enquanto fazem o melhor pelos seus olhos, divertem-se.

The product appears to be thoughtfully designed and effective and in the way it challenges brain to use both eyes and get trained for eye convergence. The ease of getting required information made it easier to decide that this is a relevant product for my needs.
The dashboard for monitoring progress and training hours is user friendly and information rich. I have used customer support as well, and they seem to be very responsive. I plan to continue using Amblyoplay for a longer period for these reasons.

There are not many options out there for lazy eye therapy, so I am grateful there's something I can use. Unfortunately, there are even less options for adults. I try to make time during the week to do these games and do notice some change when I do them consistently...but it gets very repetitive. For the price you would think there would be new games every once in a while.

Good customer service and lively approach to the task of getting my eyes to work well together! I’m seeing some progress!

I’m 59 and I’m starting to see the difference.

Синът ми е на 6 год.с мързеливо око е и играе на игрите от 5 месеца, вече има много добър резултат, определено помага много, препоръчвам я на всеки, защото този метод работи. Истината е, че вече много му омръзнаха игрите и всеки ден е приключение да го накарам да играе, но продължавам, защото виждам резултат и надежда да се оправи! Успех на всички!

Product is good.
Customer service might not exist. I have tried a few different ways to contact them without any luck.

I received an automatic request to write a review so that I would get 30% discount on next month’s purchase.
“As a token of our appreciation, we are offering 30% off your next month's payment when you leave a review on Trustpilot.”

I am finding Amblyoplay great. The games are fun, so it never feels like a chore, and using it has easily become part of my daily life. I renewed after my first six months. I have noticed an improvement in my lazy eye and a great reduction in double vision since starting.

My son is enjoying the games and he looks forward to playing them without giving us tantrums.We are also very satisfied with the service since they answer my queries immediately
Thank you!

The onboarding, the product and the games are very well made. I've not used it long enough to see results yet. I'd recommend having your vision checked by an optician to monitor progress.

AmblyoPlay offers enjoyable vision therapy through its user-friendly, game-like interface. However, tablet users may experience occasional performance issues.

This platform has greatly helped my son with the convergence problem in his eye. Thanks to its exercises and the dynamics of its games, he has improved positively. Thank you very much.

Since i start the vision therapy, i saw some improvement in my vision.
In the beginning i think i can't have any results, but i been 6 months and is little be better.

As an adult with amblyopia, I thought my chances of improving my sight had gone. But, after using Amblyoplay for 3 months, my doctor's have assured me my sight has improved. And, such was the result, they plan to recommend it to other patients
