The Ultimeyes app can enhance your eyesight through brain-training sessions. The app encourages users do these exercises four days per week. In a recent baseball study, researchers found that training your brain with a perceptual learning app could improve your vision.
The test was done on baseball players at the University of California in Riverside. During the 2013 NCAA Division 1 season, 19 players on the team were given 25-minute brain-training sessions with the Ultimeyes app. The results showed that the players who used the Ultimeyes app had significant improvements in their sight at a distance of 20 feet and farther.
Some of the players had 20/20 vision at the start of the season and jumped to 20/15 and some even 20/7.5 by the end. The research indicated an average increase of about 31 percent.
