Stroke Sight – Vision Trainer

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 eight exercises for the four most common visual changes after stroke — hemianopia, quadrantanopia, visual neglect and scotoma — using the kind of scanning and tracking practice that stroke rehabilitation teams recommend.

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 it helps with

• Field loss (hemianopia and quadrantanopia) — practise scanning into the side you've lost, so you notice more of what's around you and read with less effort.
• Neglect (one-sided inattention) — gentle tracking toward the side that gets overlooked, the approach with the strongest evidence behind it.
• Scotoma (a blind spot) — training to find the edges of the gap and work around it.

The exercises draw on published rehabilitation research and align with NICE guidance (NG236) on life after stroke.

What's included

• Eight 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
• Adjustable spatial audio (off, subtle or prominent) for sound sensitivity or hyperacusis
• Works on iPhone and iPad

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.
