## What is RelaxEye?

Approach to the Eye

First, start with a '3 minutes' or '5 minutes' video and stare intently. The image is not in focus. After a while, you will stop trying to focus and your eye muscles will relax.

Approach to the Brain

The video uses Gabor waves. This image can be easily recognized by the primary visual cortex (V1), but lacks information in the secondary visual cortex (V2). The aim is to stimulate V2 to work more actively to compensate. After watching for '3 minutes' or '5 minutes', you will feel the contours become clearer.

## Key features

- Eye muscle relaxation exercises
- Visual cortex stimulation
- Gabor wave video patterns
- 3 and 5 minute sessions
- Improved contour clarity

### 1/5 — Ads ruin it all

*2023-12-25*

What is the point of exercising if at the end you force the user to watch 30sec of ads?

### 2/5 — It might be good...

*2020-04-14*

No instructions in the app and the ones in the app store are very difficult to understand. Very little effort went into making this app clearly...why then even bother?
Looks it might be good for something with the Gabor exercises, sadly very poorly implemented.

### 5/5 — Helps you see sharper

*2020-02-21*

This helps your short distance vision. For sure.

### 5/5 — いいかも

*2020-01-21*

何となく効いてる気がする

### 2/5 — Instructions would be nice

*2019-10-25*

Interesting app but I’m not quite sure how to use it? Do we just stare at the lines? Or look at the eye in the top?
