01
Orientation
Identify pattern orientation as discrimination difficulty changes.
THE NAYIR PROGRAM
The eye receives.
The brain learns to see.
Amblyopia is a disorder of visual development. Detail can remain difficult to resolve after correcting the glasses prescription because the difficulty involves how visual information is processed.
Explore the exercises
6 EXERCISES · TWO ALTERNATING DAYS
Each day has its own exercises.
Three exercises per session, 20 active minutes each. The cycle advances after the previous session is completed.
A
Day one
3 × 20 active minutes02
External noise
Identify a target in the presence of visual noise.
03
Crowding
Distinguish the target from neighbouring elements.
B
Day two
3 × 20 active minutes04
Localization
Locate the pattern relative to the fixation point.
05
Alignment
Discriminate small differences in visual alignment.
06
Lateral interactions
Detect a target with neighbouring patterns arranged around it.
Train with the target eye while the other eye is covered, with short breaks throughout your session.
A BROADER VIEW OF AMBLYOPIA
More than a number
on an eye chart.
Explore eight aspects of vision and the role of exercises and assessments in each.
01Acuity and spatial detail
+
Difficulty resolving small detail despite optimal correction.
Tasks at specified spatial frequencies; clinical acuity tracks whether learning transfers.
02Contrast sensitivity
+
Needing a larger luminance difference to detect a pattern.
Detection and discrimination tasks with graded contrast.
03Crowding
+
A target becomes harder to identify among nearby elements.
Practice identifying a target with nearby flankers.
04Signal in noise
+
Difficulty extracting a target from competing visual information.
External-noise exercises that control the difficulty of signal discrimination.
05Positional precision
+
Reduced precision when judging target position.
Localization tasks relative to fixation.
06Alignment and fine offsets
+
Difficulty detecting small offsets between elements.
Alignment training; Line Vernier is a separate assessment.
07Target–surround interactions
+
Surrounding patterns can alter how easily a target is detected.
Lateral training presents a target with controlled surrounding patterns.
08Binocular vision and depth
+
Binocular integration and stereopsis may be affected.
Assessed by the clinician. Current training does not include binocular or direct stereopsis therapy.
THE NAYIR PROGRAM
From the first measurement
to follow-up.
01
STEP ONE
Visual assessments
Begin with visual assessments and device setup. Record your starting point, including acuity measured by your clinician.
02
STEP TWO
Begin your program
One hour of active training a day, 4 days a week, with an initial plan of around 3 months. Allow about 72 minutes per session including breaks.
03
STEP THREE
See your clinician monthly
Review your eye measurements with your clinician every month to see what changed and reassess the plan based on your response.
A plan built around your starting measurements and ongoing follow-up.
