Eyeona Vision Therapy Software
Understanding Eyeona
Eyeona is a clinical software platform designed for vision screening and vision therapy activities. It provides structured, computer-based exercises that train the visual skills the brain needs for comfortable reading, learning, and daily function. Unlike a standard eye chart that only tests how clearly you see at a distance, Eyeona targets the brain-based skills that control how your eyes work together, how quickly they move between targets, and how efficiently the brain processes what the eyes deliver.
Vision is a brain process. The eyes capture light and send signals to the brain, but it is the brain that turns those signals into usable information. When the brain struggles to coordinate the eyes or process visual input efficiently, the result can be headaches, difficulty reading, trouble concentrating, or fatigue during near work. Eyeona addresses these difficulties through interactive exercises that challenge the brain to build stronger, faster visual processing pathways. This is possible because of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to form new neural connections and strengthen existing ones through repeated, targeted practice.
Eyeona serves two important roles in our clinic. First, it functions as a screening tool that helps identify visual skill deficits that a standard vision exam may miss. Many patients, especially children, have difficulty with eye teaming, tracking, or focusing that goes undetected during routine eye exams. According to research published in Ophthalmology in 2023, approximately 61 percent of children have not received a comprehensive vision assessment by age five. Screening tools like Eyeona help us catch problems early so that treatment can begin before those difficulties affect learning, reading, or development.
Second, Eyeona delivers structured vision therapy exercises that can be performed both in the clinic and at home. The software presents visual tasks through a computer screen and gamepad, guiding the patient through activities that target specific skills like convergence (the ability of both eyes to aim inward together at a near target), tracking, and visual processing speed. This dual role makes Eyeona a practical tool for both identifying visual problems and actively treating them.
Eyeona is used with patients who have binocular vision difficulties, which are problems with how the two eyes work together as a team. One of the most common of these conditions is convergence insufficiency, where the eyes struggle to aim inward together when looking at something up close. This can make reading uncomfortable, cause words to blur or double, and lead to loss of concentration during near tasks. The vision therapy techniques used in Eyeona are based on approaches supported by high-quality published research, including a comprehensive network meta-analysis published in the Cochrane Database in 2020 that evaluated interventions for convergence insufficiency and confirmed the effectiveness of the types of vision therapy exercises that platforms like Eyeona deliver.
Eyeona is also used for patients with tracking difficulties, focusing problems, and other eye coordination deficits. Children who struggle with reading or schoolwork, adults who experience visual fatigue from screen use, and patients recovering from concussion or brain injury may all benefit from the types of exercises this platform provides. The software adapts to each patient's skill level, making it appropriate for a wide range of ages and abilities.
What to Expect
Eyeona sessions involve sitting in front of a computer screen and interacting with visual exercises using a gamepad or keyboard. Your therapist selects the specific activities based on your evaluation results and adjusts the difficulty level to match your current abilities. The exercises are interactive and provide real-time feedback so that you or your child can see how each response is scored. Children tend to engage well with the activities because they feel more like structured visual games than traditional therapy.
In-office sessions are supervised by your therapist, who monitors performance throughout and makes adjustments as needed. The therapist may change the speed, complexity, or type of exercise during a session based on how the patient is responding. This supervised approach ensures that each session is productive and appropriately challenging. Sessions are typically one component of a broader therapy visit that may include other tools and techniques.
One of the practical strengths of Eyeona is that it supports home-based training between office visits. Your therapist may assign specific exercises for you or your child to complete at home on a regular schedule. Consistent home practice reinforces the skills being developed during supervised sessions and gives the brain the repetition it needs to build lasting improvements. Home activities are selected to match your current level so that the practice is meaningful without being overwhelming.
Your therapist provides clear instructions for each home assignment and reviews your performance data at follow-up visits. The software tracks results from home sessions, which allows your clinical team to monitor how often exercises are completed and how performance is changing over time. Patients who complete their home activities consistently tend to progress more quickly because the brain benefits from regular, repeated practice rather than occasional effort.
Eyeona captures performance data from every session, both in the clinic and at home. This data includes accuracy, response time, and how the patient's skills are developing across different exercise types. Your doctor and therapist review this information regularly to assess progress, determine when to advance the difficulty of exercises, and decide when to shift focus to different visual skills.
Objective tracking is valuable because it removes guesswork from the treatment process. Rather than relying solely on how things feel from day to day, your clinical team can see measurable changes in the data. This allows us to confirm that the exercises are producing real improvement and to make informed adjustments to your program when needed.
Eyeona as Part of Your Treatment Program
The visual system is complex. It involves the eyes, the brain, the nerves that connect them, and the sensory systems that support balance and spatial awareness. Because so many systems work together to produce clear, comfortable vision, a single tool or technique cannot address every aspect of a visual problem on its own. Eyeona strengthens specific visual skills through structured software-based exercises, but those skills depend on a foundation of healthy eye coordination, sensory integration, and neurological regulation that other treatments are designed to build.
For example, a patient whose eyes cannot aim together accurately will struggle to benefit from visual processing exercises until that motor coordination is addressed. Similarly, a patient whose nervous system is in a heightened stress state may find it difficult to focus and engage with therapy activities until that regulation is supported. Effective treatment recognizes these connections and addresses them in a coordinated way rather than treating each symptom in isolation.
Eyeona functions as a software platform within a broader vision therapy program. Vision therapy builds the motor foundation that Eyeona's exercises depend on. When the eyes can aim, focus, and track with accuracy, the brain receives clean input that allows the software-based exercises to be more effective. Vision therapy sessions develop skills like eye teaming, smooth tracking, and accurate focusing through hands-on, therapist-guided activities. Eyeona then extends that training by providing additional structured practice, especially through its home-based component, which gives patients consistent repetition between office visits.
HTS, another home therapy system, works alongside Eyeona by offering complementary exercises that reinforce binocular vision skills from a different angle. While Eyeona and HTS both deliver computer-based vision therapy activities, each platform targets skills through its own set of exercises and progression models. Using both systems as part of a coordinated program gives the brain varied and consistent stimulation, which supports stronger and more lasting improvements. Our Neuro-Visual Performance Training program integrates tools like Eyeona and HTS with in-office vision therapy and other clinical treatments to address the full scope of each patient's visual needs.
Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation that goes well beyond a standard vision exam. Your doctor assesses how your eyes move, how they work together, how efficiently your brain processes visual information, and how your sensory and neurological systems support visual function. The results of this evaluation determine which tools and techniques are included in your program and how they are sequenced.
Eyeona is selected for your plan when the evaluation identifies specific visual skills that benefit from the structured, repetitive practice that software-based training provides. Your doctor chooses the exercises, sets the difficulty, and determines how Eyeona fits alongside other components of your care. No two patients present with the same combination of visual challenges, which is why every treatment plan is built around individual evaluation data rather than a standard protocol. As you progress, your plan is adjusted based on objective performance data, clinical observations, and how your symptoms are changing. This individualized, data-driven approach ensures that your care evolves with you at every stage of treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Eyeona is designed for use by both children and adults. The interactive, screen-based format tends to be engaging for younger patients, and the exercises can be adjusted to match a wide range of ages and skill levels. Your therapist selects activities and difficulty settings based on your child's specific evaluation results and adjusts them as your child progresses through the program.
Home training schedules vary depending on the patient and the goals of the treatment plan. Your therapist provides specific guidance on how often and how long to practice. Sessions are typically brief and designed to fit into a daily routine. Consistent, regular practice produces better outcomes than occasional longer sessions because the brain responds best to frequent, repeated stimulation.
Eyeona is a valuable complement to in-office vision therapy, but it is not a replacement. In-office sessions provide supervised, hands-on training with a therapist who can observe your performance, make real-time adjustments, and introduce techniques that require direct clinical guidance. Eyeona extends that work by giving you structured practice at home, which reinforces the skills being developed during office visits. The combination of supervised therapy and consistent home practice produces the strongest results.
The software tracks performance data from every session, including accuracy and response time. Your therapist reviews this data at follow-up visits and compares it against your baseline measurements. In addition to the software data, your doctor monitors changes in your symptoms and clinical test results. Together, these objective and clinical measures provide a clear picture of whether the exercises are producing the improvements your treatment plan is designed to achieve.
Kayla is a great vision therapist. I came in dealing with a lot of dizziness, tightness around my left eye, and strange experiences that felt like dissociation. Through the office sessions and home program, my dissociation and tightness around my eye completely disappeared, and my dizziness greatly improved. I recommend going to see Dr. Graebe!

My daughter loved everything about this place. It has helped her so much in school and at home. They are wonderful people and we are truly thankful and blessed because also they gave her confidence in herself. ❤️❤️❤️
Michelle Donoho
Dr. Graebe and his staff are absolutely wonderful. I have seen so many improvements in my day to day life. My issues presented after I had PRK eye surgery and no longer wore corrective lenses. The surgery gave me 20/15 vision. Now my anxiety is completely gone, I’m back in college with excellent grades, I love driving again, and my coordination is back. Those are just some of the improvements. Dr. Graebe did a wonderful job helping me. I’ve seen some amazing results!

Very knowledgeable employees. Made therapy fun and exciting. Always positive and built up my child’s self-esteem. Went from not being able to read the top letter on the eye chart to almost 20/20 vision. Homework was easy and fun. Would recommend to everyone.
Gretchen Tracy
My child had a lazy right eye. I took him to get evaluated and learned he was in need of vision therapy. After months of therapy and working with him at home, he had made great progress. He is almost where we can start maintenance. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful resource in Versailles. I would recommend anyone to go in for a consultation and see what vision therapy can do for you or your loved one.
