Go online to see your way clear to improved vision

[Bosonic]

FAR from making your sight worse, it seems that time spent staring at a computer or iPhone screen could soon improve vision.

A brain-training app that gives middle-aged people the eyesight of those 10 years younger will be available to download within months, developers say.

They claim it can dramatically reduce the need for reading glasses in those who already wear them, as well as put off the day on which others need to buy a pair.

Trials of the GlassesOff software have produced startling results, with people able to read more than two lines further down an eye chart after training.

1. "In addition, the time taken to read a newspaper page more than halved, New Scientist reports."...

Which means you'll be able to read TWICE as many DU Posts!!!!!

2. I can't wait until it's available! I have had to go to reading

glasses recently, especially for my music. My arms just weren't long enough anymore to see the words in the Messiah score or other choral music. I've often wondered if there were exercises that would strengthen my eyes, and felt that 'giving in' to reading glasses might just be increasing the weakness.

3. The Clinical Data page of their website has no clinical data.

They say "Various clinical studies conducted with the GlassesOff™ solution" but don't provide any of the studies.

They may argue that the graphs are clinical data, but I think that's stretching the term.
