Use the app further down on this page to train your contrast sensitivity and improve visual clarity. This app is not for eye exercise. Rather, it trains your brain’s visual cortex with Gabor patches to better interpret the inputs it receives from your eyes. Most comparable apps are expensive, but this one is absolutely free.

People Likely to Benefit From This App:
-Sportspersons
-Copy Editors
-Proofreaders
-Visual Designers
-Post-LASIK patients unhappy with contrast reduction
-People with poor night vision
-Anyone looking to improve visual contrast

Instructions & Information:

Daily training (around 30 minutes) is required to experience improvements. This app trains your brain’s visual cortex rather than your eyes themselves. No data is collected by New Earth Story. Your training streak and progress are stored on your browser’s cache and are deleted when you clear it.

-Use this app on your desktop/laptop rather than on mobile. It is not designed for use on small mobile screens.
-Keep both eyes uncovered while performing the training.
-Set screen brightness to maximum and sit an arm’s length away while training.
-Wait for the app to load.
-Use the fullscreen view.

The app has 4 training modes based on the clinical 2AFC approach designed to challenge your contrast threshold. All you need to do is follow on-screen instructions and press either 1 or 2 based on what you are able to see. If you aren’t sure, take a guess. A correct response makes the exercise harder while a wrong one makes it easier. Your latest correct response for each day (exclusive to each training mode) is charted on a line graph visible in the settings view on the left of the screen. Use this line graph for an idea of your improvement over time. Your overall training streak (across days) is tracked and displayed at the top-right of the app.

Apart from the dynamic training, you can also fix the contrast threshold at a particular level that is just outside your comfort zone and train at that level.
