Stroke Sight – Vision Rehab

Ansteyapps Limited

About this app

After a stroke, sight can change in ways that are hard to live with — words slipping off the page, things missed on one side, the world feeling somehow incomplete. Stroke Sight is a simple, daily way to train your vision at home, at your own pace.

It's built around nine exercises for the four most common visual changes after stroke — hemianopia, quadrantanopia, visual neglect and scotoma — based on the compensatory scanning and tracking approach used in stroke rehabilitation research.

Why we built it

Stroke Sight was made by a family living with stroke. After someone we love lost a large part of their visual field, we couldn't find an app that was thorough, calm to use, and available in our own language — so we built one. It's made in the UK, for survivors and the people who care for them.

What you can practise

• Field loss (hemianopia and quadrantanopia) — practise scanning into the side you've lost, with guided exercises for noticing your surroundings and for reading.
• Neglect (one-sided inattention) — gentle tracking toward the side that gets overlooked, a widely used approach in stroke rehabilitation.
• Scotoma (a blind spot) — training to find the edges of the gap and work around it.

The exercises use the kinds of scanning and tracking practice described in published stroke-rehabilitation research.

What's included

• Nine exercises, each with ten levels that adapt as you improve
• Three colour modes — standard, high-contrast yellow and high-contrast white — for changed colour vision
• Full left- and right-side support throughout
• A one-tap progress report (PDF) you can email straight to your therapist or orthoptist — so they can see how you're getting on between appointments
• Practise in your own language — 20 of them, including the first vision-rehab exercises in Welsh and Twi
• Adjustable spatial audio (off, subtle or prominent) for sound sensitivity or hyperacusis
• Works on phones and tablets

A wellness tool, not a medical device

Stroke Sight is here to support your daily practice. It doesn't diagnose, treat or cure any condition, and it isn't a substitute for professional care. Please keep following the advice of your orthoptist, neuro-optometrist, occupational therapist or stroke rehabilitation team.
