Stroke Sight – Vision Rehab

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
