Missed opportunity

Should have a recording feature

It’s good

I like it!

Cannot customise

Thought this would be helpful but there is no way to adjust the speed and style. Very disappointing - use the free web version instead!

Good, but needs some improvement

My vision therapist recommended this app to help with eye stretches. It’s good, but I wish I could change the direction the bars move. I have to do this exercise with a patch on because my eyes don’t track together. So I’d like it if the bars could travel left or right and up or down.

Response from developer

Hi JobbbieBo, You can change the direction of the bars by swiping on the screen in the opposite direction against how they're moving. Also if you lock screen rotation on your device, you can physically rotate your device to control how the bars are moving.

No adjustments

Would have been nice to choose some things like smooth pursuit, saccades, vor

Before this app my professor and I thought I was a zombie.

My brain seems to be looking at things better now and my eyes feel like the computer vision syndrone eye strain I suffered from decreased significantly. I feel more stable now that I don't feel so stressed and dizzy. It's pretty expensive for just playing a pattern. And you'd be outright crazy to not pay $3.99 to see these changes. Also, the eye strain of having hella bad tunnel vision caused by the iphone was causing my dry eye because it's reversed with this app. They should make this technology have more peer reviewed double blind studies and also make it more well known that cybersickness and feeling like the phone is making you sick doesn't mean you are crazy it may just mean you need these exercises the help with something not natural like looking at a smartphone. Even my family members said they felt better using the app a few times. I feel like the smartphone made me feel like a zombie before and just feel a lot less tense and more relaxed. Look up the National Geographic article on cybersickness and you will start to see what some people suffer from with these smartphones being so prevalent.

Don’t want to keep paying for this and can’t figure out how to uninstall

Dont want this app

Response from developer

There is no recurring cost to the app. You paid a one time fee to purchase the app. If you’re not happy with the app, you can request a refund from Apple directly. Google “How to get a refund for iTunes or App Store purchases” and you’ll find directions for how to do this.

Want horizontal stripes

Mine will only display vertical stripes and I need horizontal as well as vertical for mdds symptoms. I am not sure if that is possible with this app. If so, I don’t know how to do it

Response from developer

I believe you can achieve what you want using rotation lock on your iOS device. Rotate the device to the orientation you want and lock it and then the stripes will continue flowing the way you locked the orientation. You may not even need to use rotation lock and just physically rotate your device from portrait to landscape. If you need more help, please contact me via email at oknstrips@thomasalvarez.com Thanks!

OKN strips

This works quite well. Tap the screen to make the strips go faster. Level 1 through 5. I’m using this app to treat my nerve/ muscle paralysis in my left eye. It was recommended by my therapist. This exercise and time and hope.

Response from developer

The strips should cycle through speeds by tapping on the screen. If you're having problems with that, please contact oknstrips@thomasalvarez.com so we can work with you to try and solve the problem. Thanks.

Good app

Red-Black inversion doesn't work on grid test but otherwise a good app. You can get back to main menu from optokinetic by holding down on screen for two seconds and the back menu appears.

Good

Good app.. The only complain ill make is after opening the OKN strips if i need to go back to the menu containing amsler grid , i can only do so after i quit and close the application and open it again.. But its a minor complaint and i like the app.

Good App.

Good App.

Optokinetic Drum

Great little tool. Different speeds also are a plus as is the ability to change color to red or black. Thanks.

Useful app for babies

This is an especially useful app for assessing OKN (both vertical and horizontal) in babies. Have found it easier to use on the iPad than the iPhone. Nevertheless have still used it on the iPhone.
The Amsler is handy as well. I like being able to use it white on black which is sometimes more sensitive than black on white.
