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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Optics Trainer at 4.5 against RelaxEye's 2.7. Optics Trainer also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 40%) and ratings volume (305 vs 3). RelaxEye's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
